This book argues that the periodic ceremonial intrusion into the
everyday lives of people across the Ottoman Empire, which the
annual royal birthday and accession-day celebrations constituted,
had multiple, far-reaching and largely unexplored consequences. On
the one hand, it brought ordinary subjects into symbolic contact
with the monarch and forged lasting vertical ties of loyalty to
him, irrespective of language, location, creed or class. On the
other hand, the rounds of royal celebration played a key role in
the creation of new types of horizontal ties and ethnic group
consciousness that crystallized into national movements and, after
the empire's demise, national monarchies.
