| Abstract | "This book examines the crucial role of the Habsburg dynasty in European affairs over 700 years, from the election of Rudolph as emperor (1273) through the great Empress Maria Theresa (1740-1780) to the long-lived Emperor Franz Joseph (1848-1916). The Danube Monarchy brought together nine different nations in an irenic unity in diversity. The book also examines in detail the flowering of culture under the Habsburg rule: the extraordinary artists from the Carolingian Era to Expressionism; some of the greatest composers of all time who made Vienna the world capital of music; and some of the most remarkable analytical authors of modern times. This cultural efflorescence reached a highpoint from the 18th to the early 20th centuries with figures like Haydn, Mozart, Beethoven and Schubert, later Strauss, Mahler, Bruckner, Kokoschka, Schnitzler, Musil and Freud, a veritable chronicle of achievement"-- Provided by publisher. |
