The result is a masterful intellectual history.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e In addition to recovering lost or forgotten materials, the author builds an innovative conceptual and methodological framework to make sense of those materials and to challenge many long-standing assumptions about Polish cultural and intellectual history. \u003ci\u003eTaking Liberties\u003c\/i\u003e contributes to the debate over the meaning and practice of patriotism.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Ohio University Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47118876967152,"sku":"9780821445006","price":27.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780821445006_p0.jpg?v=1763751403","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780821445006","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
