Anglo-German relations, although seriously strained
towards the end of the Victorian era, were comparatively constructive during
the 'long' 19th century and, at any rate, peaceful. In fact, they were
arguably one of the most stable fixtures in a Europe that was otherwise a
precariously fragile balance of interests and discord of voices. This volume
brings together a selection of the papers given at two conferences held in
November 2003 and April 2004 at the Institute of Germanic Studies, London,
which focused on our respective intellectual histories and interconnections
at the time.
