Across the medieval and early modern eras, new rulers were
celebrated with increasingly elaborate coronations and
inaugurations that symbolically conferred legitimacy and political
power upon them. Many historians have considered rituals like these
as irrelevant to understanding modern governance-an idea that this
volume challenges through illuminating case studies focused on the
eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Habsburg lands. Taking the
formal elasticity of these events as the key to their lasting
relevance, the contributors explore important questions around
their political, legal, social, and cultural significance and their
curious persistence as a historical phenomenon over time.
