Description

"Drawing on a wealth of specialist studies, Peter Wilson offers an alternative way of looking at the Empire, seeing it not as a failed monarchy or flawed forerunner of a later German nation-state, but on its own terms as a multi-layered structure, combining monarchical, hierarchical and federal elements. Key stages in the Empire's development are explained within the context of wider European history while a final section provides a comprehensive guide to its main institutions and developments across the last four centuries of its existence."--BOOK JACKET.
