French-German Translation Library from 1770 to 1815 (all Titles over Time): A Media-Political Long-Term-Effect Study of the French Revolution

Hans-Jürgen Lüsebrink / Rolf Reichardt, Graphik, Französisch-deutsche Übersetzungsbibliothek 1770–1815: Themenbereich "Politik" im Zweitverlauf.

The empirical survey of German translations of French revolutionary texts confirms the thesis of Johann Wilhelm von Archenholtz that the translation fever reached its peak in 1795, mainly concerning periodicals. After the Revolution, the press became even more dominant in the transfer of political news, remaining at a much higher level than between 1770 and 1788.
