May 5, 1870 issue

add to cart   close window

This article focuses on the book "The Hohensteins." The story opens in the spring of 1848, and deals with three generations of the Hohenstein family then living, and variously affecting and affected by the political and revolutionary activity of that year and the following one. In the Hohenstein family, one has the usual rich and despotic head of the family, the usual interested and scheming heirs, and the female villain, who is rather a special possession of German and Prussian novelists, but who in this instance is unusually genuine and coherent.
