1848: The Revolution of the Intellectuals

by Lewis B. Namier

Book Overview

Concentrating on the revolutions of central and eastern Europe, Namier explains in this reissue of his famous essay how 1848 inaugurated a new age, not of liberalism as the revolutionaries hoped, but of nationalism. With a new introduction by Joll, this book not only sheds light on the year 1848 itself but also fresh insights into historical forces still at work in our own time.
