Abstract

Despite the end of censorship in 1848, the suppression of democratic print matter sharpened in the 1850s. Postpublication judicial review now threatened the livelihood of printers, just as cautionary deposits and stamp taxes discouraged oppositional newsprint. Prussia, Austria, and the German Confederation after 1849 crushed democratic activity by closing papers, exiling democrats, and restricting democratic print matter. Prior to German unification, publishers curtailed political dissent. The “New Era” of 1858 revived moderate liberalism, but the information order of bureaucratic absolutism remained intact and marginalized democratic discourse. The years of unification in Prussia-Germany witnessed a rightward shift in liberal politics, leaving bourgeois radicals with few options. Democratic dissent migrated to working-class political culture and its Social Democratic Party of Germany. Liberals hailed the Imperial Press Law of 1874 as a political and commercial success, but the suppression of Catholics, Poles, radicals, and Social Democrats marked the limits of dissent.
