This comprehensive study takes a fresh look at the diverse understandings and interpretations of the idea of liberalism in Europe, encompassing not just the familiar movements, doctrines, and political parties that fall under the heading of “liberal” but also the intertwined historical currents of thought behind them. Here we find not an abstract, universalized liberalism, but a complex and overlapping configuration of liberalisms tied to diverse linguistic, temporal, and political contexts.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The essays in this volume, all written by eminent students of European history, demonstrate the great strengths of the conceptual history approach. The book makes an important and illuminating contribution to the history of liberalism in Europe, and its extensive and diverse cases provide much rich material for reflecting on the varied legacies and trajectories of liberalism, both in the past and the present. It will be of tremendous use to scholars and students of European history and the history of liberalism, as well as those wanting to see how the methods of conceptual history can be put to productive use in the exploration of political ideologies.”\u003c\/em\u003e \u003cstrong\u003e• History: Review of New Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cem\u003e“The initiative behind the book—to sketch a history of European liberalism using the conceptual history approach—is an important one for the field.
