A History of the European Restorations: Governments, States and Monarchy

Editat de Professor Michael Broers, Ambrogio A. Caiani
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 25 aug 2021
Europe's Restorations were characterised by their evolving dialectics. The chapters in this first volume address the key questions and controversies of Napoleonic history from a national and international perspective. From the re-ordering of the European world through the tools of intervention, occupation and diplomacy, to the creation of new constitutional monarchies across France, Scandinavia and Germany the volume outlines the processes that realigned national priorities and the accompanying dynamics of social and political identity. In a structure that makes sense of what Luigi Mascilli Migliorini describes as the 'fiendishly complex' process of reconstructing order in post-Napoleonic Europe, this collection of essays brings together experts in the field to set a new precedent for transnational research frameworks in the study of the European Restorations.

Recenzii

One of the book's strengths is that it highlights modern scholarship of the period, on which these essays are based. This study will be of greatest interest to specialists and graduate students. Summing Up: Recommended.
This is an excellent collection, and the editors deserve praise ... One of the great pluses of the collection is its scope: the way it integrates European states and regions that have so often been left out of books too narrowly focused on France and, perhaps, Italy and Spain ... These volumes deserve to be in every library concerned with teaching and research on nineteenth-century Europe.
In short, the editors have admirably engaged with the Restorations ... In sum, there is much promise to A History of the European Restorations, and its impressive cast of contributors have made important interventions.
This is a magnificent and exciting collection, bringing together a remarkable international range of scholars who cover both well-established topics from unfamiliar angles, and introduce areas on which there is little available in English. Any respectable historical library will need a copy: it will be widely consulted for years.
This impressive collection will assume its place as an important survey of current thinking on the politics of the Restoration era in both international and domestic contexts. Scholars and students alike will consult the essays with profit. The contributors provide new and nuanced assessments of actors and policies rather than recurring to older dichotomies of radical and reactionary. Some contributions trace themes for specific regions across the whole period, others focus on specific episodes and explore the broader implications through close readings. Having both types of essays adds to the insights of the volume.
These two volumes provide a valuable introduction to the exciting new research which is transforming our view of Europe between 1815 and 1848. Unified by the important and persuasive notion of multiple "Restorations", they will be invaluable for anyone who teaches or studies this important period in European history.
This exciting two-volume collection provides a wealth of material on the European dimension of the Restoration as Europe was both re-made and made anew in the aftermath of the Napoleonic period. The range is truly impressive, covering both the states usually well-treated, notably France, but also others, for example the Netherlands, usually underplayed. These volumes deserve to be in every library concerned with teaching and research on nineteenth century Europe.
