economy of the rural manor and the urban guild into a national economy. Feudal and
inter-urban warfare were gradually supplanted by warfare of a large scale . . . monar-
chies were becoming symbols of national power and prestige, while upper and middle
classes were becoming more enthusiastic exponents of national, as against local or cos-
mopolitan interests.” Eugene Kamenka, “Political Nationalism—the Evolution of the

zen’—the individual who recognized the state as his legal home. It created the idea of
