Book Description:

Long before Rumania existed as a sovereign state, Rumanians struggled for national identity in Transylvania, an area in Eastern Europe of great ethnic and cultural diversity. The growth of their national consciousness between 1780 and 1849 affords an intriguing case study in nationalism. Hitchins gives us in this book the first systematic survey and analysis of the movement--its leadership, techniques, and literary and political manifestations.
