Description
For historians centennial commemorations furnish an excellent heuristic tool for gauging late nineteenth and early twentieth-century attitudes towards the past and the present. Centenary celebrations helped to revive, perpetuate and reinforce public perceptions of historical events and people in collective memory. They were fairly infrequent before 1850, but increased in size and numbers by the end of the long nineteenth century. As part of the contemporary processes of the `invention of traditions and the conscious national `self-historicization of the established nation-states, they offer crucial insights into the social, cultural and political dynamics of the period.
