This is the first full-scale study in English of the reign of
Frederick William IV, King of Prussia from 1840 to 1861, and
arguably the most important German monarch in the century between
the death of Frederick the Great and the accession of William II.
Although Frederick William has long been criticized as a Romantic
reactionary who was utterly out of touch with his times, this study
reaches different conclusions, arguing that he was in fact a
modern, and in many ways, 'successful' monarch. The book is not a
biography in the traditional sense. Rather, it focuses on the
structures, institutions, and transformations of the monarchical
system in Prussia during a time of revolutionary change. It thus
represents a contribution to our understanding of the structures of
the nineteenth-century European state, and the strategies by which
conservative elites were able to adjust themselves to new
circumstances.
