A description of an event that swept across Europe in 1848, and was instrumental in the formation of the republics which are such a feature of Europe today. It was an assault on the rigid monarchies that had replaced the Napoleonic upheaval, and even though in some cases, like that of France, the revolts were perverted to the modern forms of autocracy, still was successful in starting long term changes. Robertson also demonstrates some of the flaws of these nationalist centered actions. A sensible appreciation of the period. ( ) sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
This social history of Europe during 1848 selects the most crucial centers of revolt and shows by a vivid reconstruction of events what revolution meant to the average citizen and how fateful a part he had in it. A wealth of material from contemporary sources, much of which is unavailable in English, is woven into a superb narrative which tells the story of how Frenchmen lived through the first real working-class revolt, how the students of Vienna took over the city government, how Croats and Slovenes were roused in their first nationalistic struggle, how Mazzini set up his ideal republic Rome.
