So, remember at the Conference up north, the speaker said, include what historians think about blah, blah, blah…
So, here’s what distinguished historian, Peter Gay, says about modernism: Peter Gay maintains that modernism and its practitioners had two defining characteristics: “the lure of heresy that impelled their actions as they confronted conventional sensibilities” and “a commitment to a principled self-scrutiny.”
Concerning the start of World War I, “Europeans of all stripes,” according to Yale historian, Peter Gay, “joined in greeting the advent of war with a fervor bordering on a religious experience.” link
The pacifist philosopher Bertrand Russell writes of discovering, “to my amazement,” as he wandered the streets of London, “that average men and women were delighted at the prospect of war.” link
Peter Gay on Germany in the interwar years (between WWI & WWII): ”…by 1925, the German atmosphere was calmer than at any point since the war and revolution; …” Source: Peter Gay, Weimar Culture: The Outsider as Insider (New York: Harper & Row, 1968).
What can you find about major stuff (Wars, Eras, Movements, etc.)?
