Softcover/Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Against the odds, monarchies flourished in nineteenth-century Europe. In an era marked by dramatic change and revolutionary upheaval, Europe's monarchies experienced an unexpected late flowering. Royal Heirs focuses on the roles and personalities of the heirs to the throne from more than a dozen different dynasties that ruled the continent between the French Revolution and the end of the First World War. The book explores how these individuals contributed to the remarkable survival of the crowns they were born to wear. Constitutions, family relationships, education, politics, the media, the need to generate 'soft power' and the militarisation of monarchy all shaped the lives of princes and princesses while they were playing their part to embody and secure the future of monarchy. Ranging from Norway to Spain and from Greece to Britain, Royal Heirs not only paints a vivid picture of a monarchical age, but also explores how such disparate monarchies succeeded in adapting to change and defending their position.

This volume brings together a fascinating selection of studies exploring the soft power tools used by heirs to the throne in order to enhance the communication of monarchies with their audiences during the nineteenth-century.

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. This book explores the development and viability of Germany's sub-national monarchies in the decades before their sudden demise in 1918. It does so by focusing on the men who turned out to be the last ones to inherit the crowns of the country's three smaller kingdoms: Prince Ludwig of Bavaria, Prince Friedrich August of Saxony and Prince Wilhelm of W?rttemberg. Imperial Germany was not a monolithic block, but a motley federation of more than twenty allied regional monarchies, headed by the Kaiser. When the German Reich became a republic at the end of the First World War, all of these kings, grand dukes, dukes and princes were swept away within a fortnight. By examining the lives, experiences and functions of these three men as heirs to the throne during the decades when they prepared themselves for their predestined role as king, this study investigates what the future of the German model of constitutional monarchy looked like before it was so abruptly discarded.

Softcover/Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Ausgehend von einer Analyse der politischen und sozialen Krise Deutschlands im Vorm?rz verfolgt Franz Lorenz M?ller die Hauptstr?nge der mannigfachen revolution?ren Ver?nderungsprozesse zwischen M?rz 1848 und Juli 1849. Der Fokus richtet sich dabei nicht nur auf die politische Revolution des liberalen B?rgertums, die mit einer Fundamentalpolitisierung und Kommunikationsrevolution einherging, sondern ebenso auf die Forderungen und Aktionsformen von Bauern, Arbeitern, st?dtischen und l?ndlichen Unterschichten sowie von unterprivilegierten Schichten (Frauen, Juden). In einem abschlie?enden Kapitel er?rtert er eingehend die Revolutionswende im Herbst 1848, die Verfassungsarbeit der Paulskirche, die Reichsverfassungskampagne sowie die Niederwerfung des pf?lzischen und badischen Aufstands im Sommer 1849. Der Autor legt damit einen straffen, gut lesbaren und dennoch detailreichen und differenzierten ?berblick zu den deutschen Revolutionen von 1848/49 vor. De Gewicht in Gramm: 315.…

Gebundene Ausgabe. Condition: Neu. Habsburger, Hohenzollern, Bourbonen & Co.: Wie die gro?en Dynastien Europa pr?gten Die Tage der Monarchie in Europa schienen gez?hlt, als der Henker an einem Januartag des Jahres 1793 der jubelnden Menge das abgetrennte Haupt von Ludwig XVI. entgegenstreckte. Trotz aller Revolution trat jedoch das Gegenteil ein: Kaiser, K?nige und F?rsten sollten das 19. Jahrhundert pr?gen und ihr Amt vielerorts mit Glanz, Geschick und Erfolg aus?ben. In seinem wunderbar erz?hlten Geschichtspanorama zeigt uns Frank Lorenz M?ller, warum das so war. Im Zentrum stehen dabei die Pers?nlichkeiten und Schicksale der Thronfolger - denn sie waren es, die alle Erwartungen, Hoffnungen, Tr?ume auf sich vereinten und somit im doppelten Sinne f?r das ?berleben der Monarchie sorgten.
