The book considers this shifting, imaginary border from different points of view and demonstrates that the location, definition, and character of the 'East', often associated with socio-economic backwardness and other unfavourable attributes, depended on historical circumstances, political preferences, cultural assumptions, and geography. Spanning two centuries, this study analyses the ways that changing ideals and persistent clichéd attitudes have shaped the conversation about and interpretations of Eastern Europe.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEurope and the East will be essential reading for anyone interested in images and ideas of Europe, European identity, and conceptions of the 'East' in intellectual and cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Hewitson\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0367636581\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780367636586\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/05\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 306\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.38lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.75d","brand":"Mark Hewitson","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":48086539403519,"sku":"9780367636586","price":180.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4a20962d-2d60-4a27-a9eb-5dd38bdb2474.jpg?v=1769095251","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/europe-and-the-east-mark-hewitson-9780367636586","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
