The Holy Roman Empire, Reconsidered by Jason Philip Coy,Benjamin Marschke,David Warren Sabean Pdf

The Holy Roman Empire has often been anachronistically assumed to have been defunct long before it was actually dissolved at the beginning of the nineteenth century. The authors of this volume reconsider the significance of the Empire in the sixteenth, seventeenth, and eighteenth centuries. Their research reveals the continual importance of the Empire as a stage (and audience) for symbolic performance and communication; as a well utilized problem-solving and conflict-resolving supra-governmental institution; and as an imagined political, religious, and cultural "world" for contemporaries. This volume by leading scholars offers a dramatic reappraisal of politics, religion, and culture and also represents a major revision of the history of the Holy Roman Empire in the early modern period.

The Holy Roman Empire by Peter H. Wilson Pdf

THE SUNDAY TIMES AND ECONOMIST BOOKS OF THE YEAR 2016 'Hugely impressive... Wilson is an assured guide through the millennium-long labyrinth of papal-imperial relations' Literary Review A great, sprawling, ancient and unique entity, the Holy Roman Empire, from its founding by Charlemagne to its destruction by Napoleon a millennium later, formed the heart of Europe. It was a great engine for inventions and ideas, it was the origin of many modern European states, from Germany to the Czech Republic, its relations with Italy, France and Poland dictated the course of countless wars - indeed European history as a whole makes no sense without it. In this strikingly ambitious book, Peter H. Wilson explains how the Empire worked. It is not a chronological history, but an attempt to convey to readers why it was so important and how it changed over its existence. The result is a tour de force - a book that raises countless questions about the nature of political and military power, about diplomacy and the nature of European civilization and about the legacy of the Empire, which has continued to haunt its offspring, from Imperial and Nazi Germany to the European Union.

The Holy Roman Empire by Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger Pdf

A new interpretation of the Holy Roman Empire that reveals why it was not a failed state as many historians believe The Holy Roman Empire emerged in the Middle Ages as a loosely integrated union of German states and city-states under the supreme rule of an emperor. Around 1500, it took on a more formal structure with the establishment of powerful institutions--such as the Reichstag and Imperial Chamber Court--that would endure more or less intact until the empire's dissolution by Napoleon in 1806. Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger provides a concise history of the Holy Roman Empire, presenting an entirely new interpretation of the empire's political culture and remarkably durable institutions. Rather than comparing the empire to modern states or associations like the European Union, Stollberg-Rilinger shows how it was a political body unlike any other--it had no standing army, no clear boundaries, no general taxation or bureaucracy. She describes a heterogeneous association based on tradition and shared purpose, bound together by personal loyalty and reciprocity, and constantly reenacted by solemn rituals. In a narrative spanning three turbulent centuries, she takes readers from the reform era at the dawn of the sixteenth century to the crisis of the Reformation, from the consolidation of the Peace of Augsburg to the destructive fury of the Thirty Years' War, from the conflict between Austria and Prussia to the empire's downfall in the age of the French Revolution. Authoritative and accessible, The Holy Roman Empire is an incomparable introduction to this momentous period in the history of Europe.

Rise and Fall of the Holy Roman Empire by David Criswell Pdf

The controversial history of the Holy Roman Empire is back in print. Attacked by revisionist historians for its integration of church history and the secular history of the Holy Roman Empire, "The Rise and Fall of the Holy Roman Empire" is the only complete history of the Holy Roman Empire from Charlemagne to Napoleon currently in print. Moreover, it deals not just with the emperors but with the larger empire as it was viewed by the medieval Europeans themselves. Every emperor and pope is discussed as well as the significant kings of Europe who helped shape the empire and the Middle Ages. Further, it traces the history of the various Christian sects and the evolution of the church. The Reformation did not arise out of nowhere; it was in the making for three hundred years or more. Consequently, this history is neither for those who believe religion to be the source of evil, nor for those who believe the papacy to be the pure uncorrupted line of Saint Peter. In the words of the author, "the Holy Roman Empire was a mixture of good and evil, and was the seed of everything good and evil that has since encompassed the globe ... Without the Holy Roman Empire, there are no middle ages; without the middle ages, there is no Reformation and no Renaissance; without the Reformation, there are no Puritans; without the Puritans, there is no modern democracy; without modern democracy, there is no modern world. Science, art, literature, and even modern democracy are all products of the Reformation and Renaissance yet without the middles ages, these would never have existed ... the Holy Roman Empire is the seed for everything good and bad that has happened since that time."
