Volume

v. 1 ISBN 9780521790666

Description

The edition consists of official reports written for the Foreign Office by British envoys to the German States in the 19th century, covering the period from the Vienna Congress in 1815 to the dissolution of the German Confederation (Deutscher Bund) in 1866. All despatches have been transcribed and annotated for the first time. The following missions are included: Frankfurt (Diet of the German Confederation), Berlin (Prussia), Munich (Bavaria), Stuttgart (Wurttemberg), Dresden (Saxony), Vienna (Austria) and Hanover from 1837. The selection presents the main attitudes to the political, economic, military, cultural, and social situation in the German States described and assessed by British diplomats. Although a relatively homogeneous social group these envoys did not produce a homogeneous image of Germany. Furthermore, the edition provides insights into the activities of the British diplomatic service in the German states over a long period of time.

v. 3 ISBN 9780521872522

Description

This edition presents official reports sent by British diplomats stationed in Germany to the Foreign Office in London. The diplomatic correspondence of the years 1848 to 1850 vividly illustrates the importance of the 1848 Revolution and its aftermath as an epoch-making event in German and European history. It reveals the attitude and perceptions of British observers in a period of great diplomatic activity and vigilance. The developments and changing political situation between the outbreak of the Revolution and the start of the Dresden Conferences in late 1850 are reflected by the official British observers at the level both of the individual member status of the Confederation and of Germany as a whole.

v. 4 ISBN 9781107009448

Description

British Envoys to Germany presents official reports sent from the British missions in Frankfurt, Berlin, Hamburg, Hanover, Dresden, Stuttgart, Munich and Vienna. The diplomatic correspondence selected for Volume 4 provides strong evidence that the period between the Dresden Conferences of 1851 and the Austro-Prussian war of 1866 should be seen as more than just a time of transition between the revolution of 1848 and German unification. In addition to international affairs and Anglo-German relations, the dispatches cover the federal dimensions of German politics and the policies and societies of the federal states. The multifaceted views and perceptions of British diplomatic representatives illustrate the importance of the last sixteen years of the German Confederation in their own right. All dispatches are transcribed and annotated for the first time. A comprehensive annotated index of names and a subject index complete the volume.
