By the mid-sevententh century several European monarchies were collapsing. Focusing on a key elite bonding strategy, this new survey shows how monarchs resolved to work with, rather than against, their elites. Nicholas Henshall's synthesis offers an argument for the coherence of the period - as the height of European monarchy and its elites.
Klappentext zu „European History in Perspective / The Zenith of European Monarchy and its Elites “
By the mid-seventeenth century, several major European monarchies were collapsing. Battered by incessant war and religious rebellion, rulers clashed with landowners and clergy on whom they relied for territorial and spiritual support. Nicholas Henshall argues that from this crisis emerged a new deal. Monarchs reasserted traditional values and resolved to work with, rather than against, their nobles and churches.The Zenith of European Monarchy and its Elites: The Politics of Culture, 1650-1750 :
focuses on a previously neglected key elite bonding strategy
explains how a common identity was forged by erecting cultural defences against outsiders
demonstrates how the power and prestige of the ruling classes rose to unprecedented heights.
Essential reading for students and scholars of early modern European history, this fascinating new study shows how the period 1650-1750 gains a new coherence - as the pinnacle of Europe's monarchies and their elites.
A new survey which suggests a fresh interpretation of the early modern period, defined by the political and cultural co-operation of monarchs and elites and their resulting supremacy
