- Summary:
- Finally available in English to coincide with the 150th anniversary, this highly original study of the German Revolution of 1848-49 examines the "failure" of the revolution, its repression and the attempts with this repression. Wolfram Siemann's analysis centers on the contradictory forms of to come to terms collective protest, the tensions in the social, agrarian and commercial spheres, the nature of the crisis cycles of the Vormarz period, the different stages of development in individual German territories, and the regional centers of industrialization and politicization. It is against this backdrop that the "failure" of the revolution is put into perspective.
