About this title

Review:

"[It] brings a substantial body of knowledge concerning a heretofore neglected area and subject in English-language scholarship; it also offers another perspective of the era reform in the Hapsburg Monarchy; it affords an understanding of the unusual circumstances of social and political organization of the Tirol and its relationships with the monarchy during an era of stress; and, finally, it offers a much-needed longer view of the problem of the South Tirol."

--William Wright
