Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a historical analysis that challenges the widely held view of Franz Deak as the "Wise Man of the Nation" and a progressive liberal. The author argues that Deak was, in fact, a conservative who supported the traditional Hungarian constitution and opposed efforts to modernize the country. The author further contends that Deak's role in the Ausgleich of 1867, which established the Austro-Hungarian Empire, was more due to a confluence of favorable circumstances than to his own political acumen. The book provides a nuanced and revisionist perspective on Deak's legacy and sheds new light on the political and social dynamics of 19th-century Hungary. By examining Deak's political stances and motivations, the author offers valuable insights into the complex interplay of liberalism, conservatism, and nationalism in Central Europe during this period.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the legal and social ramifications of religious affiliation in the Austrian Empire in the years following its adoption of religious tolerance in 1781. The author examines the ideological underpinnings of the Toleration Edict and the manner in which it extended civil and political rights to Protestant and Eastern Orthodox subjects previously denied them under Imperial law. The book also analyzes the way in which the edict defined the parameters of religious freedom and the legal provisions that protected religious minorities from discrimination and coercion. The author examines the development and evolution of these provisions in the decades following the Toleration Edict as well as the ways in which the edict influenced subsequent laws and regulations governing relations between different religious communities in the Austrian Empire.
