The Age of Revolutions, spanning from the mid-eighteenth century to the revolutions of 1848, is a multifaceted and trans-Atlantic phenomenon that transcends disciplinary and linguistic boundaries. This book delves into the dissemination and transformation of revolutionary ideas during this period, encompassing both European and American revolutions and the global impact of the Haitian Revolution. Through transnational approaches, the chapters explore how political uprisings left a lasting impact beyond the borders of the directly affected states, manifesting in various forms such as narratives, metaphors, translations, letters, pamphlets, and dialogues, as well as physical objects. These transnational connections and exchanges played a significant role in shaping the course of history and contributed to the broader global transformation of the period.
