Publisher description for Vienna and Versailles : the courts of Europe’s major dynastic rivals, ca. 1550-1780 / Jeroen Duindam.

This book brings vividly to life the courtiers and servants of the imperial court in Vienna and the royal court at Paris-Versailles. Drawing on a wealth of unpublished material masterfully set in a comparative context, the book makes a unique contribution to the field of court studies. Staff, numbers, costs, and hierarchies; daily routines and ceremonies; court favourites and the nature of rulership; the integrative and centripetal forces of the central courtly establishment: all are seen in a long-term, comparative perspective that highlights both the similarities and the distinctiveness of developments in France and the Habsburg lands. In the process, most conventional views of each court – and of court life in general – are challenged, and a new interpretation emerges. Finally, by relocating the household in the heart of the early modern state, Vienna and Versailles forces us to rethink the process of statebuilding and the notion of ‘absolutism’.

The Dynastic Centre and the Provinces

Scope and content

    “Maintaining the connections between the dynastic court and the provinces was a major challenge for pre-modern governments. The allegiance of governors shifted easily from the centre to the provinces. Ritual and festive occasions, equally important to generate cohesion, were rarely shaped wholly by either side. Agents & Interactions examines these connections in late imperial China, early modern Europe, and the Ottoman empire. Contributions highlight the different and evolving notions of the governor, the choreography of rulers touring their realm, and the interpretations of sources describing such events. Important intercultural parallels appear, and it becomes clear that the domains of politics and culture cannot be separated. The chapters in this volume suggest important revisions and outline an agenda for comparison”–Provided by publisher.

Contents

    Introduction / Jeroen Duindam — Part 1. Agents — The imperial viceroy : reflections on an historical type / Jurgen Osterhammel — Devolution from the centre to the periphery : an overview of Ottoman provincial administration / I. Metin Kunt — Broken passage to the summit : Nayancheng’s botched mission in the White Lotus War / Yingcong Dai — Routine promotions : Li Hu and the dusty byways of empire / R. Kent Guy — Ceremonial demarcations : the viceregal court as space of political communication in the Spanish monarchy (Valencia, Naples, and Mexico, 1621-1635) / Christian Buschges — The Ambans of Tibet-imperial rule at the Inner Asian periphery / Sabine Dabringhaus — Part 2. Interactions — Remonstrating against royal extravagance in imperial China / Patricia Ebrey — ‘True and historical descriptions’ : European festivals and the printed record / Helen Watanabe-O’Kelly — Ceremonial entries and the confirmation of urban privileges in France, c. 1350-1550 / Neil Murphy — ‘Willingly we follow a gentle leader…’ : joyous entries into Antwerp / Margit Thofner — Historical narratives of the Kangxi emperor’s inaugural visit to Suzhou, 1684 / Michael G. Chang — Towards a comparative understanding of rulership : discourses, practices, patterns / Jeroen Duindam.

Dynasties

    “For thousands of years, societies have fallen under the reign of a single leader, ruling as chief, king, or emperor. In this fascinating global history of medieval and early modern dynastic power, Jeroen Duindam charts the rise and fall of dynasties, the rituals of rulership, and the contested presence of women on the throne. From European, African, Mughal, Ming-Qing and Safavid dynasties to the Ottoman Empire, Tokugawa Japan and Chosen Korea, he reveals the tension between the ideals of kingship and the lives of actual rulers, the rich variety of arrangements for succession, the households or courts which catered to rulers’ daily needs, and the relationship between the court and the territories under its control. The book integrates numerous African examples, sets dynasties within longer-term developments such as the rise of the state, and examines whether the tensions inherent in dynastic power led inexorably to cycles of ascent and decline”– Provided by publisher.
    “Dynasty persists into the modern world, but it has lost much of its aura during recent centuries. With the emergence of industrialised and urbanised societies in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, alternative forms of power have become more prominent. Kingship evolved at a point where societies moved beyond kinship as the key principle of social organisation; it retreated in modern urban and industrial society. Kinship and family, however, remain a force to be reckoned with. Personalised and enduring forms of leadership in politics and in business tend to acquire semi-dynastic traits even in the contemporary world. In autocratic states, the power of modern-day dynasts extends far beyond anything their predecessors could have imagined”– Provided by publisher.
