Political Friendship

Focusing on the interplay of personal relationships among academics, journalists, and artists, the book explores how these connections influenced 19th-century German liberalism during a time of revolution and repression. Michael Weaver highlights the significance of political friendship in shaping ideas and strategies, showing that these intimate bonds were crucial to the political landscape and the eventual unification of Germany. By examining the collaborative efforts of these figures, the work sheds light on an often-overlooked aspect of political culture in this transformative era.
