I hope I am posting this in the right place. I have an increasing interest in 19th century continental European history, particularly on the cultural and “intellectual” side. Undoubtedly, I have arrived at this interest from studying 19th century continental philosophy, and to a lesser extent, some of the fictional literature of the time. As far as history goes, I have no clue where to start reading. Does this community have any book suggestions that cover this? If providing regions would help, I am more interested in the German speaking peoples and the French.
