The Flame of 1848
Hawthorne, Hazel | February 25, 1956 issue

add to cart   close window

In form, Raymond Postgate's book "The Story of a Year: 1848" falls between the journalistic and the historical, limited to the one in manner, being concise and speedy, qualifying for the other in an abundance of source material and in the acuity of his asides. Postgate plots the curve of reforms and revolts as it rose and fell on the graph of the year. In January in England, the Ten Hours' Act went into operation. In due course the abortive efforts of the Chartists are recorded. Then, in September, a new political era opened.
