This collection of essays provides a new introduction to the revolutions of 1848. In that year Europe's traditional order broke down dramatically across much of the continent. Here, well-known experts in the field provide both a vivid account of the events themselves and a compelling analysis of their profound impact on the development of modern European politics.

Editorial Reviews

Review

`a fresh, lively and stimulating set of essays.' Guy P.C.Thomson, French History, vol.14, No.3, 2000

`The scope of the book lends itself ot a comparative approach to the revolutionary movements. The analysis of the revolutions' impact on Britain, Russia and the US raises the question of how the revolutions impacted other countries elsewhere in Europe and the Americas. The studies are, for the most-part, up-to-date in their analysis of the topic, and the authors provide useful bibliographical annotations. This work would be an excellent choice for an upper-division or graduate-level course on the Revolutions of 1848 or Europe in the nineteenth century.' Paul Arpaia, H-W-Civ

`a panorama of the areas that directly experienced revolutions ... as well as several countries on the periphery' Paul Arpaia, H-W-Civ
