Excerpt from Liberty's Centennial: A Poem of 1876 A spell steals o'er my troubled mind With beaming dew like Eden's haze, Until my heart, to fate resigned, Like heaven burns with love and praise: A rosy life in silver calm, More gentle than the rays aloft. Sinks on my soul and eyes with balm And blessing holy, pure and soft; The mystery of this serene Seems all divine; what may it mean To flesh and blood? The tender light Gives archangelic strength to sight, To stretch beyond the farthest sun, And past and present view as one; Ay, ages pierce ere they have birth, O'erlooking all as eagles earth. And set the fettered senses free Till e'en the blind from birth can see. That light, from neither sun nor moon, I drink as life; I feel it soon From the Immortal Inmost roll, And grandly flow from soul to soul.

Nagel's classic work deals with nineteenth-century America's coming awareness as a nation and its agonizing struggle to turn itself into a model republic. He perceptively explores the growth of American nationalism in its political, social, religious, economic, and literary implications. The resulting book is a vivid portrait of how America viewed itself, what concerned it deeply, and ultimately, of those forces in society that led to a new spirit of militant nationalism.
What do people think when they imagine themselves as part of a nation? Nation and Commemoration answers this question in an exploration of the creation and recreation of national identities through commemorative activities. Extending recent work in cultural sociology and history, Lyn Spillman compares centennial and bicentennial celebrations in the United States and Australia to show how national identities can emerge from processes of 'cultural production'. She systematically analyses the symbols and meanings of national identity in these two 'new nations', identifying changes and continuities, similarities and differences in how visions of history, place in the world, politics, land, and diversity have been used to express nationhood. The result is a deeper understanding, not only of American and Australian national identities, but also of the global process of nation-formation.
