Hinter jedem erfolgreichen Mann steht eine starke Frau. Eine kluge Devise, nach der auch Habsburgs Kaiserinnen gelebt zu haben scheinen. Sie waren nämlich viel mehr als die Mütter des kaiserlichen Nachwuchses oder eleganter Mittelpunkt der höfischen Gesellschaft. Als Beraterinnen ihrer Gatten mischten sie in der Politik mit und nahmen Einfluss in kulturellen oder religiösen Fragen. Die Habsburg-Expertin Sigrid-Maria Größing lässt die heimlichen Herrscherinnen Habsburgs aus dem Schatten ihrer Ehemänner treten. Dabei lüftet sie manch Geheimnis und schildert das Schicksal dieser großen Frauen, deren Leben oft kurz und tragisch endete. Ein informatives wie berührendes Standardwerk.

A major new biography of the iconic Austrian empress that challenges the many myths about her life and rule Maria Theresa (1717–1780) was once the most powerful woman in Europe. At the age of twenty-three, she ascended to the throne of the Habsburg Empire, a far-flung realm composed of diverse ethnicities and languages, beset on all sides by enemies and rivals. Barbara Stollberg-Rilinger provides the definitive biography of Maria Theresa, situating this exceptional empress within her time while dispelling the myths surrounding her. Drawing on a wealth of archival evidence, Stollberg-Rilinger examines all facets of eighteenth-century society, from piety and patronage to sexuality and childcare, ceremonial life at court, diplomacy, and the everyday indignities of warfare. She challenges the idealized image of Maria Theresa as an enlightened reformer and mother of her lands who embodied both feminine beauty and virile bellicosity, showing how she despised the ideas of the Enlightenment, treated her children with relentless austerity, and mercilessly persecuted Protestants and Jews. Work, consistent physical and mental discipline, and fear of God were the principles Maria Theresa lived by, and she demanded the same from her family, her court, and her subjects. A panoramic work of scholarship that brings Europe's age of empire spectacularly to life, Maria Theresa paints an unforgettable portrait of the uncompromising yet singularly charismatic woman who left her enduring mark on the era in which she lived and reigned.

Emperor of Austria, Apostolic King of Hungary, King of Jerusalem, King of Bohemia, King of Dalmatia, King of Transylvania, King of Croatia and Slovenia, King of Galicia and Illyria, Grand Duke of Tuscany and Cracow, Margrave of Moravia, Duke of Salzburg, Duke of Bukovina, Duke of Modena, Parma, and Piacenza and so on, another thirty or so titles could be added. Was ever a monarch so festooned as Emperor Francis Joseph? He ruled from the Year of the Revolutions, 1848 until his death in 1916. His empire was the most multi-national state ever. An ethnic map of 1910 shows there to be Germans, Magyars, Czechs, Slovaks, Poles, Ruthenes, Serbs, Croats, Slovenes, Italians, Jews, Muslims, Ladins (in the Tyrol) and Roumanians. What is more, even together the Germans and the Magyars constituted a minority. And yet, as Alan Palmer observes no other European monarch 'exercised full sovereignty for so long.' Unlike Queen Victoria he ruled rather than merely reigned. That alone suggests he was something more than the humourless bureaucrat he is commonly thought to have been, and Alan Palmer is successful in providing a more rounded and sympathetic portrait of him both as head of an empire and head of a family. His personal life was punctuated with tragedy: his brother, Maximilian was executed y Mexican republicans; his only son, Rudolf shot himself and his mistress at Mayerling; his wife, Empress Elizabeth, was stabbed to death in Geneva, and his nephew and heir, Francis-Ferdinand was assassinated at Sarajevo. This was the first biography of Francis Joseph by an English writer and was acclaimed when originally published in 1994. 'With great skill Mr Palmer blends in the Emperor's private life with the story of the Empire. . . This is an important book; also an entrancing one.'

The death of Archduke Franz Ferdinand in Sarajevo in 1914 not only sparked the beginning of World War I—it also initiated the beginning of the end of the six-hundred-year-old Habsburg dynasty, which fell apart when the war ended, changing Europe forever. But how did the Habsburgs come to play such a decisive role in the fate of the continent? Paula Sutter Fichtner seeks to answer this question in this comprehensive account of the longest-lived European empire. Tracing the origins of the house of Habsburg to the tenth century, Fichtner identifies the principal characters in the story and explores how they were able to hold together such a culturally diverse and multiethnic state for so many centuries. She takes account of the intertwining of culture, politics, and society, revealing the strategies that enabled the dynasty’s extraordinarily long life: its dazzling mix of cultural propaganda, public performances, and cunning political maneuvering. She points out the irony that one of the crowd-pleasing performances that had enabled the Habsburg success—visiting beds of the injured—led to Ferdinand’s death and the empire’s downfall. Breathing fresh life into the history of the Habsburg reign, this accessible and authoritative history charts one of the pivotal foundation stories of modern Europe.

Kaiserin Elisabeth von Österreich‐Ungarn (1837–1898) war zeitlebens eine europäische Prominenz, die interessierte und bis heute fasziniert. Zeitungsartikel, Zeitschriften, Filme, TV‐Serien und Bücher berichteten immer wieder über die rebellische Kaiserin und festigten das Bild der exzentrischen Regentin. Im multimedialen Gewitter kam der Bezug zur Schweiz stets zu kurz. Sisi gefiel hier die Ursprünglichkeit der Natur, kombiniert mit der Distanz zum kaiserlichen Hof. Sie vertraute dem Land mehr als dem grossen Kaiserreich ihres Gatten. Immer wieder weilte sie in Bern, Zürich, Lugano oder auf der Rigi – oftmals inkognito. Als sie Sorgen plagten, liess sie Klosterfrauen in Trachslau für sich beten. Dass sie in Genf auf tragische Weise einem Attentat zum Opfer fiel ist zwar bekannt, aber kaum, dass sie bei der dortigen Bank Rothschild ihr Privatvermögen angelegt hatte. Michael van Orsouw erzählt in knappen anschaulichen Kapiteln über die Bezüge der Kaiserin zur Schweiz und ergänzt damit ihre Lebensgeschichte dank neuer Quellen und Dokumente um unbekannte Aspekte.

A beguiling exploration of the last Habsburg monarchs' grip on Europe's historical and cultural imagination. In 1919 the last Habsburg rulers, Emperor Karl and Empress Zita, left Austria, going into exile. That same year, the fairy-tale opera Die Frau ohne Schatten (The Woman Without a Shadow), featuring a mythological emperor and empress, premiered at the Vienna Opera. Viennese poet Hugo von Hofmannsthal and German composer Richard Strauss created Die Frau ohne Schatten through the bitter years of World War I, imagining it would triumphantly appear after the victory of the German and Habsburg empires. Instead, the premiere came in the aftermath of catastrophic defeat. The Shadow of the Empress: Fairy-Tale Opera and the End of the Habsburg Monarchy explores how the changing circumstances of politics and society transformed their opera and its cultural meanings before, during, and after the First World War. Strauss and Hofmannsthal turned emperors and empresses into fantastic fairy-tale characters; meanwhile, following the collapse of the Habsburg monarchy after the war, their real-life counterparts, removed from political life in Europe, began to be regarded as anachronistic, semi-mythological figures. Reflecting on the seismic cultural shifts that rocked post-imperial Europe, Larry Wolff follows the story of Karl and Zita after the loss of their thrones. Karl died in 1922, but Zita lived through the rise of Nazism, World War II, and the Cold War. By her death in 1989, she had herself become a fairy-tale figure, a totem of imperial nostalgia. Wolff weaves together the story of the opera's composition and performance; the end of the Habsburg monarchy; and his own family's life in and exile from Central Europe, providing a rich new understanding of Europe's cataclysmic twentieth century, and our contemporary relationship to it.

Garlick finds in state funerals a form of theatrical performance that reinforces the established rule, can appeal to vast audiences, and has advantages over some other forms of theater because of the emotional potency of its circumstances. After setting out a general context of appropriate theory, he presents a number of examples, among them the Medici esequie, the Duke of Wellington, Abraham Lincoln, John F. Kennedy, and Princess Diana. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
