This clear and compelling account of the Habsburg Monarchy in its
last century explains why, a century after its disappearance, it
has never been more relevant. With extensive discussion of recent
historiographic controversies about the Monarchy's character and
viability, Steven Beller presents a detailed account of the main
strands of the Monarchy's political history and how its economic,
social and cultural development interacted with this main
narrative. While recognizing the importance of these larger trends,
readers will learn how the historical accident of personality and
the complexities of high politics and diplomacy still had a central
impact on the Monarchy's fate. Although some would see the Monarchy
as an atavistic irrelevance in the modern age, its multicultural,
multinational experience and inclusive 'logic' was in many ways
more relevant to our modernity than the nationalism that did so
much to bring about its demise.
