Opis

Associative Political Culture in the Holy Roman Empire offers a new and more coherent exploration of the Holy Roman Empire, depicting it as a sprawling community of interdependent elites who interacted within the framework of a shared political culture.

Recenzje

This well-written, tightly argued monograph analyzes the political culture of the fragmented southwestern regions of the Holy Roman Empire between the medieval and early modern periods ... Hardy persuasively challenges traditional historiographic models that seek the origins of state development through territorialization in the late medieval German-speaking lands or that treat imperial estates as hierarchically distinct and territorially bounded ... Hardy's alternative model will be much cited and should inspire research in other imperial regions and beyond ... Highly recommended. P. G. Wallace, CHOICE
