In the nineteenth century, German Liberalism grew into a powerful
political movement vociferous in its demands for the freedom of the
individual, for changes to allow the participation of all men in
the political system and for a fundamental reform of the German
states. As elsewhere in Europe, Liberalism was linked not only with
a strong social commitment, but also with the formation of a
national state. In this concise and authoritative study of
liberalism in German, Dieter Langewiesche analyses the foundation
and development of German liberalism from the nineteenth to the
twentieth century. He takes into account the most recent research
and scholarship in this field, examining the role of individual
German states, the local roots of liberalism, the links between
liberalism and its social bases of support, especially from
bourgeois groups, and the forms of political organisation adopted
by the liberals. The author addresses issues fundamental to an
understanding of liberalism in Germany and the formation of the
modern German state.
One of England's most famous caricaturists, James Gillray, was an
immensely successful and popular artist, yet there were no accounts
of his work published in England during his lifetime. The single
contemporary source on Gillray is a series of commentaries
published in the German journal London und Paris between 1798 and
1806. Christine Banerji and Diana Donald have translated and edited
selected commentaries, with accompanying illustrations, to reveal
how Gillray's art was understood by his contemporaries. The edition
offers a unique insight into the role of satire in British politics
during the Napoleonic era and shows the subtle artistry of
Gillray's designs. The volume also includes an informative
introduction which places Gillray and his work in the context of a
fascinating episode in Anglo-German relations at the turn of the
eighteenth century.
