Elizabeth Gaskell's Mary Barton and the Social Question

Meer over het boek

The paper explores the significant societal changes in Germany since World War II, focusing on the decline of traditional institutions like parties and churches, and the rise of individualism. It questions whether political communication can remain the same as it was two decades ago or if new methods are necessary. Additionally, it examines how these changes align with the constitutional framework for political communication and considers whether the evolving landscape poses a threat to democracy.
