The German Revolution of 1848-49

Wolfram Siemann

Finally available in English to coincide with the 150th anniversary, this highly original study of the German Revolution of 1848-9 examines the 'failure' of the revolution, its repression and the attempts to come to terms with this repression.
Professor Siemann's analysis centres on the contradictory forms of collective protest, the tensions in the social, agrarian and commercial spheres, the nature of the crisis cycles of the Vormärz period, the different stages of development in individual German territories and the regional centres of industrialisation and politicisation. It is against this backdrop that the 'failure' of the revolution is put into perspective.
