"This well-conceived work is a must-read for students interested in
the global history of the bourgeoisie and its relationship with the
emergence of modern capitalism worldwide."---Giampaolo Conte,
Journal of European Economic History
"This is a very important book that makes abundantly clear that the
emergence of the middle class and bourgeois culture in the
nineteenth century was by no means exclusive to Europe or even
necessarily emanated from Europe."---Jeffrey Auerbach, World
History Connected
"The impressive breadth of the chapters is matched by a sense of
analytical depth stressing the connections among global bourgeois
elites and comparisons of the characteristics, behaviors, and
visions that cut across national cases. . . . Reading The Global
Bourgeoisie affirms the view that global history as a subfield has
matured remarkably over the last three decades."---J. Laurence
Hare, International Social Science Review
"One of the major intellectual projects in central European history
during the last two decades of the 20th century was the study of
the Bürgertum. . . . Since that time, global history—global in
expanding the comparative perspective outside the wealthier
countries of the North Atlantic, but also in placing world-wide
interactions at the center of historical structures and
developments—has become steadily more influential. The current
volume, a collection of essays based on a workshop held in
Cambridge in 2015, is an attempt to take the Bürgertum project
global."---Jonathan Sperber, Francia Recensio
