From oaths and hand-kissing to coronations and baptisms, Power and
Ceremony in European History considers the governing practices,
courtly rituals, and expressions of power prevalent in Europe and
the Ottoman Empire from the medieval age to the modern era.
Bringing together political and art historical approaches to the
study of power, this book reveals how ceremonies and rituals - far
from simply being ostentatious displays of wealth - served as a
primary means of communication between different participants in
political and courtly life. It explores how ceremonial culture
changed over time and in different regions to provide readers with
a nuanced comparative understanding of rituals and ceremonies since
the middle ages, showing how such performances were integral to the
evolution of the state in Europe. This collection of essays is of
immense value to both historians and art historians interested in
representations of power and the political culture of Europe from
1450 onwards.
