Anna Coreth's work appeared originally in 1959. Her interpretation
focuses on the relationship of Catholic religious practices and
symbols to the House of Habsburg from the Counter or Catholic
Reformation until the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries.
Coreth demonstrates how elements of religiosity and spirituality,
particularly those surrounding the Catholic Eucharistic and Marian
celebrations, became part of the Habsburg ruling style. She
discusses the imperial house's dedication to these rituals and what
the religious practices came to mean to individual members of the
Habsburg monarchy, such as Rudolf I, Ferdinand I, II, and III,
Maria Theresa, and Joseph II. Coreth demonstrates the Habsburg
monarchy's devotion to specific Catholic rituals and how these
rituals in turn acquired political significance. Moreover, Coreth
also examines the links between this Habsburg religious style, on
the one hand, and the institutional Catholic Church, popular piety,
religious orders, and mainstream political developments. The book
is an extremely rich source for early modern and modern Austrian
history.
