Description

Pieter M. Judson's new history of the Habsburg Empire offers a fresh perspective on this complex and influential state. Rejecting conventional depictions as a dysfunctional assemblage, Judson highlights the empire's achievements in law, administration, science, and the arts. This reappraisal reveals a force for progress and modernity, challenging the traditional view of an ossified regime and state. Judson's work is both spectacularly revisionist and refreshingly bold, shedding new light on the legacy of the Habsburg Empire - a topic that remains highly relevant in contemporary debates about European unity. By examining the empire's nations, states, and institutions, Judson provides valuable insights into broader themes that continue to shape our world today.
