DESCRIPTION:This talk will examine the transnational history of political 
 murder in nineteenth-century Europe. Assassination surfaced as a major and
 \, indeed\, the most radical form of violent\, popular political protest i
 n the long nineteenth century in Europe. The paper will connect the story 
 of assassination across the European landscape\, linking how the events we
 re perceived from below to how they were from above. It will show that ass
 assination struck at the very foundations of the existing social and polit
 ical order\, but it did not destroy it\; rather\, assassination helped to 
 buttress monarchy and forge the modern nation.
