Book excerpt: In this first biography in English for fifty years, Derek McKay avoids the limitation of seeing Frederick William primarily as precursor of the 'Enlightened' Frederick the Great. Instead, he roots him firmly in his own time, a dynastic, protestant ruler like many another in Germany, but gifted with the toughness and opportunism to overcome the hostility of his local nobilities and of the surrounding great powers.

Book Synopsis The Great Elector's Table by : Molly Taylor-Poleskey

Book excerpt: This dissertation reexamines the rise of Brandenburg-Prussia in the seventeenth century through the lens of food culture. It explores the ways that culture, politics, the natural environment, and science intertwined to define taste at the court of Friedrich Wilhelm (1640-1688). I argue that the decisions about everyday life at court were fundamental to the larger growth of the power of this court on the European political stage and its consolidation of power at a time when most central European states fell into obscurity. This work offers an alternative to the traditional military and bureaucratic narratives of the rise of Prussia. Instead, this dissertation views the military and bureaucratic accomplishments of this dynasty as part of a wider cultural program that shaped the consolidation of the state. In studying the economic, environmental, social, and political dynamics in choices about food at court, this work exposes the micro-decisions that determine the identity of any state.

Book excerpt: What food production, presentation, and consumption reveals about the exercise of power in early modern Germany In politics, as with food, presentation is everything. At the court of Elector Friedrich Wilhelm in Brandenburg-Prussia, the two combined in a way that illuminates the social and cultural dynamics of seventeenth-century German life. In this remarkable book, the first of its kind, Molly Taylor-Poleskey offers an innovative critical approach to understanding how a particular dynasty and an unexceptional German state rose to their eminent position on the Central European stage following the devastation of the Thirty Years' War. Food, she shows, functioned both as a tool of self-aggrandizement for rulers and as a means of coercion and leverage in power negotiations. From bakers to botanists, court servants up and down the social ladder each had a role to play in the political life of this court. Moving beyond dusty bureaucratic narratives, this colorful and inviting book offers readers a new way of appreciating how culture, politics, the natural environment, and science intertwined in early modern German statecraft.

Book Synopsis The Emperor's Old Clothes by : Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger
Download or read book The Emperor's Old Clothes written by Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger and published by Berghahn Books. This book was released on 2015-08 with total page 342 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many years, scholars struggled to write the history of the constitution and political structure of the Holy Roman Empire. This book argues that this was because the political and social order could not be understood without considering the rituals and symbols that held the Empire together. What determined the rules (and whether they were followed) depended on complex symbolic-ritual actions. By examining key moments in the political history of the Empire, the author shows that it was a vocabulary of symbols, not the actual written laws, that formed a political language indispensable in maintaining the common order.
