Your task is to discover some specific cultural element of European nationalism during the 19th century. In class, I focused on music to exemplify cultural forms of nationalism in Ireland/Scotland. You may choose any cultural expression you wish. Be prepared to share your discovery with the class in a 5-10 minute presentation that explains it within the context of 19th-century nationalism.
