The first part of a two-volume history of the Habsburg Empire from
its medieval origins to its dismemberment in the First World War.
This important volume (which is self-contained) meets a long-felt
need for a systematic survey in English of the Habsburgs and their
lands in the late medieval and early modern periods. It is
primarily concerned with the Habsburg territories in central and
northern Europe, but the history of the Spanish Habsburgs in Spain
and the Netherlands is also covered. The book, like the Habsburgs
themselves, deals with an immense range of lands and peoples:
clear, balanced, and authoritative, it is a remarkable feat of
synthethis and exposition.
This is the eagerly awaited second volume of Jean Berenger's
history of the Habsburgs. It covers the last two centuries of their
rule and provides a compelling account of the fluctuations of
Habsburg dynastic power and its disintegration after World War One.
Berenger gives a rich portrait of Habsburg greatness under Maria
Theresa and Joseph II and shows how their successors proved more
adroit at riding the tide of nationalism in their multi-ethnic
empire than is often recognised.
