Vormärz. Deutschlands Aufbruch in die Moderne: Szenen aus der deutschen Geschichte 1815–1848
In spite of historians’ best efforts, the cliché of quiescence still pervades public perceptions of the period between Napoleon and the Revolutions of 1848–49. The age ‘doesn’t have a good reputation’, announces Wilhelm Bleek in his introduction, a political scientist and the biographer of Friedrich Christoph Dahlmann. Because of the era’s arch conservatism, Bleek asserts, conventional approaches gloss the period either as a political stillstand …
Jasper Heinzen. Making Prussians, Raising Germans: A Cultural History of Prussian State-Building after Civil War, 1866–1935
On June 27, 1866, the Hanoverian army defeated Prussia on the Thüringen battlefield of Langensalza yet surrendered soon thereafter when a reinforced Prussian Army prohibited the Hanoverians from uniting with their Bavarian allies. Spelling the end of the Hanoverian state and the Guelph dynasty, the capitulation traumatized Hanoverians for decades. Despite Prussian victory, Hanoverian newspapers, schools, and other public associations long celebra…
Karl Marx: Greatness and Illusion
Honoré Daumier, a contemporary of Karl Marx, coined the motto ‘Il faut être de son temps’, a programmatic plea for authors and artists of Realism to embrace the here-and-now of their times. With the bicentennial of Marx’s birth upon us (and all the pablum and polemics that such commemorative events produce), we should view Daumier’s exhortation as a double-edged message for reading Marx. If it is fitting that every generation refashions Marx for …

Bookshops, Forbidden Print and Urban Political Culture in Central Europe, 1800–1850
To understand how German and Austrian readers gained access to forbidden literature during the Restoration and Vormärz periods, one must enter the world of bookshops. Publishers and book merchants, this essay argues, completed the print circuit of forbidden political knowledge. They possessed numerous ways to circumvent the censorship regimes of central Europe. Networks of publishers, printers, book dealers and their agents provided clandestine c…
Deutschland und die spanische Revolution 1820-1823
Historians of nineteenth-century Germany generally treat the impact of Spanish liberalism on European history as a dramatic episode that quickly receded from memory and importance. If mentioned at all, it arises as the central moment of the Verona Conference of 1822, at which the Concert engineered French intervention into Spain to roll back its constitutional liberal political system. Jörg Ludwig’s astute monograph, however, offers a much fuller…

Ranking Hospitals According to Acute Myocardial Infarction Mortality: Should Transfers Be Included
OBJECTIVE: The objective of this population-based observational cohort study was to estimate the extent to which the inclusion/exclusion of transferred patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) impacts on hospital performance rankings. SUBJECTS: The authors studied 91,633 adult patients admitted to 116 acute care hospitals in Quebec, Canada, with a primary diagnosis of AMI between 1992 and 1999. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE: Hospital performance ra…
Violence Between Civilians and State Authorities in the Prussian Rhineland, 1830–1846
This esssay examines fifty-six violent confrontations between civilians and state authorities in the Prussian Rhineland, assessing the degree to which this violence can be understood as social or political protest. Ranging from simple fist fights to mêlées involving weapons, these fights cut across several socio-economic, political, and religious fronts and therefore cannot be identified as a fixed category of contentious behaviour. Yet a general…

Salus publica suprema lex: Prussian Businessmen in the New Era and Constitutional Conflict
On 26 October 1858 I attended the swearing in of the country's leader, just as I did on 6 February 1850. In 1850, I attended as a deputy of the lower house and rebellious councillor third class; now I took part as a loyal councillor first class and even a possible ministerial candidate. This time the act had something uncommonly captivating. The prince spoke plainly but with a dignified voice and conveyed to the world the feeling that such an oat…
The Political Calculus of Capital: Banking and the Business Class in Prussia, 1848–1856
The emergence of commercial investment banks after the revolution of 1848 was an institutional breakthrough for modern capitalism and one of the central factors in the accelerated development of the Industrial Revolution in Germany between 1848 and 1871. The accumulation and mobilization of capital in concentrated and accessible forms was indispensable for underking such large-scale projects as railroads, coal mines, and iron works. Long-term pro…
