Timeline
The timeline will attend to the political, social and historical background of the period covered by the research project (1840-1940) in order to contextualise the literary texts discussed. The vertical axis provides chronology; the horizontal axis adds classification in categories including politics, economy, society, socialist movement, literature and different professions within the working classes (traditional artisans, miners, workers in the textile industry, in the iron and steel industry as well as factory workers in general) and Angestellte.
