The revolution of 1848 has been described as the revolution of the
intellectuals. In France, the revolution galvanised the energies of
major romantic writers and intellectuals. This book follows nine
writers through the revolution of 1848 and its aftermath: Alphonse
de Lamartine, George Sand, Marie d'Agoult, Victor Hugo, Alexis de
Tocqueville, Pierre-Joseph Proudhon, Alexander Herzen, Karl Marx,
and Gustave Flaubert. Conveying a sense of the experience of 1848
as these writers lived it, this fresh and engaging study captures
the sense of possibility at a time when it was not yet clear that
the Second French Republic had no future. By looking closely at key
texts in which each writer attempted to understand, judge,
criticise, or intervene in the revolution, Jonathan Beecher shows
how each endeavoured to answer the question posed explicitly by
Tocqueville: Why, within the space of two generations, did
democratic revolutions twice culminate in the dictatorship of a
Napoleon?
