This pluridisciplinary analysis of these two journals is a substantial contribution to the study of the reception accorded to the French Revolution in Germany. Whereas their authors initially stalwartly championed the ideals of liberty, the headlong radicalization of the situation in France finally prompted them to take a critical stance toward the Revolution. The authors of the 'Braunschweigisches Journal' were inspired to turn their gaze to France by hopes of the initiation of a comparable reform policy in Germany, while the authors of the 'Schleswigsches Journal' turned away from France in the course of events.
