The book deals with the development of patriotic feelings and national consciousness of Moravian Germans during the 19th century. Four historical turning-points divide this survey into four periods: the time of enlightened patriotism, the time of the revolution 1848/1849 (that was accompanied by the first great rise of national movement in Central Europe), the time of liberalism of 1860s/1870s (with the notion of Austrian liberal state patriotism) and the time of strengthened German nationalism et the end of 19th century.
