In the aftermath of the French Revolution, "freedom" came to have a
host of meanings. This volume examines these contested visions of
freedom both inside and outside of revolutionary situations in the
nineteenth century, as each author explores and interprets the
development of nineteenth-century political culture in a particular
national context.
The common focus is the struggle in various countries to define,
advance, or delimit freedom after the French Revolution. The
introductory chapter evokes the problematic relationships between
reform and revolution and introduces themes that appear in
subsequent chapters, though each chapter is a free-standing
interpretive essay. Among the issues addressed are the growth of
the public sphere and associational movements; battles over
constitutionalism, parliamentary institutions, and the franchise;
the role of the state in inhibiting or expanding citizenship and
the rule of law; the resort to violence by parties of order or
parties of change; and the intrusion of new social questions or
ethnic conflicts into the political arena.
