Synopsis
Excerpt from Germany and the French Revolution
While the political history of the era of the French Revolution has been written by Sybel and Sorel and a crowd of lesser men, the influence of its ideas and of the moving drama of blood and tears on the mind and soul of the different countries of Europe has never been thoroughly explored. The universal significance of the upheaval was grasped at the outset both by actors and specta tors. 'your laws will be the laws of Europe, if you are worthy of them,' declared Mirabeau to the Constituent Assembly; 'so strong is the influence of great States, and, above all, of France.' 'whoever regards this Revolution as exclusively French,' echoed Mallet du Pan, 'is incapable of pronouncing judgment upon it.' Friends and foes beyond the frontiers were at one in emphasising the power of its appeal; and men like Burke and Paine, Kant and de Maistre, who agreed in nothing else, were convinced that the problems which it raised concerned humanity as a whole. 'when France has a cold,' remarked Metternich bitterly, 'all Europe sneezes.' The verdict of contemporaries has been ratified by succeeding generations, and has now become an established commonplace.

Germany and the French Revolution (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book centers on Germany's response to the French Revolution from the early echoes of the event to its wide-reaching cultural impact. Before the revolution, Germany was a politically fragmented and intellectually vibrant landscape, where the Holy Roman Empire's powerlessness contrasted with the rise of Prussia and the burgeoning of the Enlightenment. The author traces how the revolution's ideals and upheavals resonated with German thinkers, writers, and artists, inspiring everything from political tracts to literary masterpieces. Through insightful analysis of the writings of Goethe, Schiller, Kant, and many others, the book reveals the complexities of Germany's search for identity and progress amidst the tumultuous changes of the era. Ultimately, it shows how the French Revolution acted as a catalyst for German intellectual and cultural renewal. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781330529256_0
