The revolution of 1848 caused the final collapse of monarchy in France, and in the
power vacuum that followed a range of competing voices sought to control the
future direction of the country. The social and political upheavals of this period are
richly detailed in this unique archive of newspapers and periodicals – an essential
resource for scholars of French or European history, military history, and French
language or literature coursework across many disciplines.
The French-language collection Newspapers of the French Revolution 1848 captures
the British Library’s holdings of all newspaper and periodical titles published in
France during the revolution of 1848. Coverage continues through the coup d’état
in 1851 to the establishment of the Second Empire in 1852.
While the revolutions are second only to World War II as research areas in
French History, specific titles also address those studying many aspects of 19thcentury French life, including women’s periodicals; literary, musical, theatre and
opera reviews; medical and trade titles; regional papers and newsletters. There is
also a strong strain of illustrated satirical and humorous titles within this collection,
which is not solely made up of newspapers but includes pamphlets held at the
British Library.
