For the German historical platform H-Soz-u-Kult, I wrote a book review of “Werkstatt der Demokratie: Die Frankfurter Nationalversammlung 1848/49”. Written by Heidelberg historian Frank Engehausen, the book presents a monograph-length analysis of the first German national parliament. Besides going into the book’s many strengths, I also try to link it to wider tendencies in the historical engagement with the revolutions of 1848/49 as we are ‘celebrating’ their 175-year anniversary.

The review can be found here.
