Emperor Wilhelm II and his time are characterised by profound contradictions: modern political parties, a booming economy, advanced technology, new media and an avant-garde culture collide with imperial divinity, a court of almost baroque proportions, quasi-feudal conditions in rural areas or tendencies in literature, architecture and art committed to tradition. In 14 contributions, renowned experts outline developments in politics, technology, religion, economy, architecture, domestic culture and art that characterise this epoch. Also included in this panorama are court society and the places where events took place, as well as the assessment of the emperor in the view of literary modernism.
Facetted panorama of the Wilhelmine era (1890-1914). 14 contributions on the economy, society, politics, religion, art and culture of the German Empire on the eve of the First World War.
