The second part, entitled Serial Revolutions 1848: Writing, Politics, Form, shows how press reports and literary witness accounts of the 1848 European revolutions were crucial to creating international ideas of global citizenship and human rights. The third and final part will track the emergence of the digital and its effects on literary culture and imperial and racial identities.
