The Brothers Grimm and the Making of German Nationalism.

"The Brothers Grimm and the Making of German Nationalism" by Jakob Norberg is a book that explores the role of the Grimm brothers in the development of German nationalism. The book highlights how the Grimms sought to include the king as a participating actor in their vision of the German nation, emphasizing a "philologist king" rather than a patriot or philosopher king. Norberg provides an overview of the Grimms' work and their contributions to Germanistik, as well as their involvement in the Frankfurt Parliament of 1848. While the book offers a valuable introduction to the topic, it does not delve into certain aspects such as the influence of the nationality principle in state politics and international relations. Overall, it is a useful resource for English-speaking readers interested in the history of German nationalism and the Grimms' scholarly contributions. [Extracted from the article]
