Abstract
The year 1848 was one of revolution throughout Europe. It is a matter of common knowledge that the year was marked, in industrialized Western Europe, by vigorous and, at times, decisive working-class activity, France being the classic example of such a movement. However, there was also a stirring of workers in Central Europe, including the Czech Lands (Bohemia and Moravia with Austrian Silesia).1 Although the Czech working class was much weaker than its Western European counterpart and its role correspondingly more restricted, it nevertheless exerted a direct impact upon the events of that year, helped shape them significantly, and imparted a distinctive flavour to the revolutionary movement. This circumstance remains yet to find appreciation in English-language historiography.
