In dialogic form, we reflect on why we chose to get involved in this project, how this project has changed our understanding of reading in and across the disciplines, and how it affects our teaching practices going forward. We hope this form will reflect our excitement in these interdisciplinary conversations and will encourage readers to seek opportunities for their own interdisciplinary dialogues about reading. In our conclusion we offer a few framing suggestions for those who wish to set up more conversations about reading

Does it not run counter to the course of history and civilization?'1 Stratford was commenting on the international crisis caused by the competing nationalist claims of Denmark and the German states to Schleswig-Holstein. Morier, an expert on not only the Schleswig-Holstein question but also German affairs, had, in fact, answered the question a week earlier in a letter to the second secretary at Rome, Lord Odo Russell: ;I am firmly convinced that the law of nationality ... is a natural law that cannot in the long run be resisted.'2 These two views represent the poles to which nineteenth-century liberal opinion was driven by nationalism. No other issue not even the 'social question' presented such a dilemma as nationalism, arising as it did from many of the assumptions that underpinned liberalism. The 'nation', an imprecise term used to describe all manner of human groupings, emerged from the Napoleonic Wars infused with political meanings derived primarily from the liberal/democratic forces set in motion in 1789.3 If sovereignty was indeed popular, as liberals argued, its exercise presupposed an identity between 'the people' (that is, the nation) and the state. Hence, after 1815, the belief that states should match nations gained legitimacy in
