Abstract | The chapter, "A Valorous Volk Family: The Nation, the Military, and the Gender Order in Prussia in the Time of the Anti–Napoleonic Wars, 1806–15," in the edited volume Gendered Nations: Nationalisms and Gender Order in the Long Nineteenth Century, examines the ramifications of nationalism, war, and a hierarchical gender order modeled by a romantic image of the family. The resulting patriotic-national embrace of German unity and laudable attributes encouraged loyalty to the Prussian nation as a "valorous" extended family and fostered a rejection of the negative dissolute attributes of the French foe. |
