It is not the most dramatic book, if drama means leading personages and famous events. But it makes the case (overwhelmingly) that this way of looking at 1848 fails to capture what is really unique: the dramatic expansion of political experience, beyond the tiny minorities that had participated in politics before. Outside of Paris and Vienna, beyond the labor movement, Sperber shows that the mid-century revolutions were more inclusive than the French Revolution, even if less "successful," and set a high-water mark for political participation that would not be reached again for fifty years. Particularly strong IMHO on the Habsburg Empire and its periphery, the part that I've really struggled to get (or to care about): Hungry, Romania, Croatia, places like that, and on the issues of religion and nationalism. Great selective bibliography, too. Can't say enough good things about this lucid, sweeping but surprisingly short book. ( ) geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
Onderdeel van de reeks(en)
Reaching from the Atlantic to Ukraine, from the Baltic to the Mediterranean, the revolutions of 1848 brought millions of people across the European continent into political life. Nationalist aspirations, social issues and feminist demands coming to the fore in the mid-century revolutions would reverberate in continental Europe until 1914 and beyond. Yet the new regimes established then proved ephemeral, succumbing to counter-revolution. In this second edition, Jonathan Sperber has updated and expanded his study of the European Revolutions between 1848-1851. Emphasizing the socioeconomic background to the revolutions, and the diversity of political opinions and experiences of participants, the book offers an inclusive narrative of the revolutionary events and a structural analysis of the reasons for the revolutions' ultimate failure. A wide-reaching conclusion and a detailed bibliography make the book ideal both for classroom use and for a general reader wishing a better knowledge of this major historical event.
