Originally published in 1983. The nineteenth century was a time of
great economic, social and political change. As Europe modernized,
previously ignorant and apathetic elements in the population began
to demand political freedoms. There was pressure also for a freer
press, for the rights of assembly and association. The apprehension
of the existing elites manifested itself in an intensification of
often brutal form of political repression. The first part of this
book summarizes on a pan-European basis, the major techniques of
repression such as the denial of popular franchise and press
censorship. This is followed by a chronological survey of these
techniques from 1815 - 1914 in each European country. The book
analyzes the long and short-term importance of these events for
European historical development in the 19th and 20th centuries.
