Description
The Holy Roman Empire Reconsidered offers a fresh perspective on this pivotal period in European history. By examining the significance of the Empire in the 16th, 17th, and 18th centuries, leading scholars challenge prevailing assumptions about its demise. This volume reveals the ongoing importance of the Empire as a platform for symbolic performance and communication, a problem-solving supra-governmental institution, and an imagined world for contemporaries. The result is a dramatic reappraisal of politics, religion, and culture in early modern Europe. Through their research, the authors provide a major revision of the history of the Holy Roman Empire during this period, shedding new light on its enduring impact on European society.
