This research project aims to analyse the impacts of the defeat in 1814 on cultural and political life in Scandinavia in the 19th century and to create a Nordic Research milieu for junior researchers and PhD students in an international setting, thereby extending the work of the ‘1814 Network’ funded by the Research Council for Humanities (FKK) 2010-2012. The relevance of the project is to shed new light on a largely overlooked part of the history of Restoration Europe, the impact of pan-movements, and transnational exchanges in the wake of momentous defeats.
The project is financed by the Danish Council for Independent Research | Humanities (FKK) and directed by Michael Bregnsbo, Department of History, University of Southern Denmark.
