327: ANNALS OF REVOLT: 1848
In a double program, two Univ. of Chicago scholars assess the sources and impacts of the revolutionary actions that erupted across Europe in a single year. William Sewell, professor of history and political science, examines how the elite’s fear of revolution, dating back to 1789, helps to explain the rapidity with which the various revolutions of 1848 were crushed. Francoise Meltzer, professor of French and comparative literature, is writing a book about 1848; she examines the notion of rupture (in history, philosophy, architecture, and literature) as read in the year’s events in France.
