Summary
"From the end of the eighteenth century to the end of the nineteenth century, a remarkable convergence took place in Europe between theories of the modern state and theories of culture. Culture and the State relates this convergence to the social function of state and cultural institutions in modern society, analyzing how culture assumes the task of forming citizens for the modern state."--Jacket
