THIS ESSAY IS WRITTEN out of a sense of dissatisfaction with the manner in which historians have dealt with the problem of German nationalism. Its purpose is not to provide answers but to raise questions. It will attempt to point up some of the weaknesses of the conceptual framework that has long dominated the descriptions of German nationalism and to suggest some new avenues into which students of the problem might profitably turn.
