Books by H. Munro Chadwick

Originally published in 1945, this book examines the development of nationalism in Europe, primarily through the connections between language development and the growth of national feeling associated with them. Chadwick also suggests ways in which the British could work to prevent another European war through greater understanding of other cultures and changing Britain's imperialist mindset.

First published between 1932 and 1940, this three-volume book was a pioneering study of the historical development of world literature. Volume 1 analyses a range of medieval British and Icelandic poetry and sagas, drawing analogies with the literature of early Greece and focussing particularly on heroic literature.

In this book, first published in 1912, Chadwick uses philological and anthropological approaches to compare the heroic literature of the Greek and Teutonic peoples. He finds many similarities in the cultures which produced such works, despite considerable differences in date, from Homeric Greece to Anglo-Saxon England to medieval Serbia.
