The study examines the factors favouring the establishment of an
audience for exile literature in Switzerland and the German states
in the first half of the 19th century. In the VormArz period and
the 1848 revolution, various Swiss publishers printed writings by
German refugees set on influencing the political developments in
their home land. Accordingly, the conservative forces within the
German Confederation looked on Switzerland as a 'hotbed of
revolution' and did their best to thwart the smuggling of
'subversive' literature. The study analyzes the relations between
the agents involved and furnishes important initiatives toward a
social history of exile literature in the VormArz period.
