In quickly allen ökonomisch hoch entwickelten Ländern ist die Gewaltkriminalität in der zweiten Hälfte des vorigen Jahrhunderts deutlich angestiegen - in Umkehrung eines langfristig rückläufigen developments individueller (außerstaatlicher) Gewaltanwendung seit Beginn der Neuzeit. Die Autoren entwickeln hierfür einen Erklärungsansatz, der vor allem von Norbert Elias' Zivilisationstheorie und Emile Durkheims Gesellschaftstheorie inspiriert worden ist.

Thomas Carlyle: The Critical Heritage (London, 1971), 427–38, at p. 432. ⁴ FG, i. 289. 40 Carlyle and the ‘Bastard Heroic’ erupts with the geological intensity that so marks his writing, especially when he is narrating revolutionary events: When he died, in 1786, the enormous phenomenon since called french revolution was already growing audibly in the depths of the world; meteoricelectric coruscations heralding it, all round the horizon. Strange enough to note, one of Friedrich’s last visitors was Gabriel Honoré Riquetti, Comte de Mirabeau.

Sorensen and Rodger L. ), The Carlyles at Home and Abroad (Aldershot, 2004), 14–26. For references to Sterne and his military father, see FG, i. 560; ii. 4. ³⁸ Something of the epic poet’s task is indicated when, in attempting to describe the battle, Carlyle, like Tolstoy after him, is forced to declare: but in what sequence done, under what exact vicissitudes of aspect, special steps of cause and effect, no man can say; and only imagination, guided by these few data, can paint to itself.
The first and more obvious point to be made is that Carlyle, the preeminent Victorian sage, was not himself a Victorian, but a product of the closing years of the Scottish Enlightenment and of the international atmosphere of late Romanticism. ⁶³ Few historians have been as conscious of their audience as Carlyle proved to be, and few have been as influential in shaping the historical tastes of that audience. The second less obvious, but no less significant point, is that The French Revolution heralded a new and revolutionary conception of historical writing as unlike that operating in the work of historians writing immediately before its appearance as could readily be conceived.
