several fine theoreticl alternatives for pursuing new narratives
about Austro-Hungarian society." -Central European History

patriotism really operated... It] offers a highly important
contribution to scholarship. Advanced undergraduates, graduate

well-written and based on original research. There are extensive

volume. Several topics are somewhat extraneous to the overall theme
but readers will find them all of interest." -German Studies
Review
The overwhelming majority of historical work on the late
Habsburg Monarchy has focused primarily on national movements and
ethnic conflicts, with the result that too little attention has
been devoted to the state and ruling dynasty. This volume is the
first of its kind to concentrate on attempts by the imperial
government to generate a dynastic-oriented state patriotism in the
multinational Habsburg Monarchy. It examines those forces in state
and society which tended toward the promotion of state unity and
loyalty towards the ruling house. These essays, all original
contributions and written by an international group of historians,
provide a critical examination of the phenomenon of "dynastic
patriotism" and offer a richly nuanced treatment of the
multinational empire in its final phase.
