Abstract

Although contemporary perceptions of an event, complete with the use or distorted evidence, the appearance of exaggerated biases, and the display of excited emotions, provide an inaccurate account of what actually happened, ironically they give a clear indication of what life was like in the period during which the event took place. Commentaries from the past have captured the mood or that time. Some of these attitudes were uniquely held by certain individuals or groups in specific circumstances. Others, however, transcended the limits of their environments to reflect qualities and faults that are still present today. Therefore, to conduct this study of Anglo-American perceptions and misconceptions of the Prague Revolution of 1848, extensive use bas been made of the discernible policies, practices, and opinions of British and American diplomats, journalists and editors.
