This is the first accessible and comprehensive history of the early modern Habsburg monarchy to appear in any language. Professor Ingrao challenges the conventional notion of Habsburg state and society as peculiarly backward by tracing its emergence as a military and cultural power of enormous influence, with a large and growing population, progressive judicial and educational systems and a sizeable industrial base. The Habsburg monarchy was undeniably different from other European polities: geography and linguistic diversity made this inevitable, but by 1789 the Habsburg peoples were already beginnning to nurture a common, anational identity that transcended their particular cultural or historic heritage. Professor Ingrao unravels the web of social, political, economic and cultural factors that shaped the Habsburg monarchy during this period, and presents this complex story in a way that is both authoritative and accessible to non-specialists.

This is a very ?workmanlike? study of the Habsburg Monarchy from the early 17th to the early 19th Century. It?s thoroughly researched, and presents a lot of political and military information about the Habsburg domains throughout the time, plus a bit of personal information about the family. Nonetheless, there?s a bit of a problem: it?s just not a terribly interesting read. I hardly expected it to race along like popular history, but even academic history can be a lot more lively than this.
If you?re looking for facts and figures from a reliable source, go for it. But if you want a study of the Habsburg monarchy and dynasty that?s a bit more colourful and insightful, I recommend Edward Crankshaw?s The Habsburgs. Ingrao?s book is serious, heavy-duty stuff, and unless you?re already very familiar with the history of the era, in spite of its commendable detail, it may bore you at least half the time. I?ve read a lot about the Habsburgs, and even I found it a slog.
