This volume seeks to get behind the surface of political events and
to identify the forces which shaped politics and culture from 1680
to 1840 in Germany, France and Great Britain. The contributors, all
leading specialists in the field, explore critically how 'culture',
defined in the widest sense, was exploited during the 'long
eighteenth century' to buttress authority in all its forms and how
politics infused culture. Individual essays explore topics ranging
from the military culture of Central Europe through the political
culture of Germany, France and Great Britain, music, court intrigue
and diplomatic practice, religious conflict and political ideas,
the role of the Enlightenment, to the very new dispensations which
prevailed during and after the French Revolution and the Napoleonic
watershed. The book will be essential reading for all scholars of
eighteenth-century European history.
