Maurice begins in 1815 with the settlement of Vienna and traces thirty years of censorship, secret societies and national revivals before the explosion of March 1848. He then follows events in Milan, Vienna, Budapest, Prague, Berlin and Frankfurt as Italian patriots, German liberals and the many peoples of the Austrian empire rose, quarrelled among themselves and faced the return of reaction.
A clear Victorian liberal history of the year of revolutions, useful for seeing how the nations of central Europe found their voice. Download the free EPUB.
