Beskrivelse

"Over the last two decades historians have promoted the Holy Roman Empire from a creaking fossil ready for history's ax to a relatively effective government of a decentralized, highly diverse polity. This well-edited volume by a distinguished international corps of specialists offers the most current views on political Germany from around 1500 to around 1800. The perspectives range between two views: the Empire as the forerunner of modern German states; the Empire as an example of a typically premodern political culture. Readers who know only what textbooks say about Germany before 1800, are in for a surprise." - Thomas A. Brady Jr., University of California, Berkeley "Whereas a revised view of the Empire is now part of the historiography in Germany it is not yet widely known among Anglo-American scholars. O]ne of the important contributions of this volume] is that it makes some of these revisionist approaches to the Old Empire accessible...I know of no other work that offers such a rich spectrum of approaches to the Old Empire." - Thomas Robisheaux, Duke University Jason Philip Coy is an Associate Professor of History at the College of Charleston, in Charleston, South Carolina.
