Download or read book Joseph II written by T C W Blanning and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-11-26 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Joseph II (1741--90) -- son and eventual successor of Maria Theresa -- has conventionally been seen in the context of the "Enlightened Despot'' reformers. Today's turmoil in his former territories invites a rather different perspective, however, as Joseph grapples with the familiar and intractable problems of creating a viable unitary state out of his multi-national empire in Central Europe. Professor Blanning's brilliant short study, based on extensive archival research, offers a history of the Habsburg monarchy in the eighteenth century, as well as a revaluation of the emperor's complex personality and his ill-fated reform programme.
Download or read book Enlightenment and Reform in Eighteenth century Europe written by Derek Beales and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2005-03-24 with total page 337 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 18th century was a unique period of global and fundamental change. Britain conquered India and much of America, the American Revolution produced the USA, and Russia expanded vastly. In the field of ideas the Scientific Revolution was consolidated and followed by the Enlightenment. Nationalism flourished, populations surged, and the Commercial and Industrial Revolutions with Western technology eclipsed the East. Few centuries have inspired such a galaxy of historians, and their groundbreaking work has been drawn upon by Derek Beales in his collection of articles and special lectures. He covers the whole European kaleidoscope, but focuses especially on Joseph II and the Hapburg monarchy, asserting that Enlightened Despotism was the emodiment of the century's revolution in ideas, politics, government and administration.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Josephinism was the collective domestic policies of Joseph II, Holy Roman Emperor (1765?1790). During the ten years in which Joseph was the sole ruler of the Habsburg Monarchy (1780?1790), he attempted to legislate a series of drastic reforms to remodel Austria in the form of the ideal Enlightened state. This provoked severe resistance from powerful forces within and outside of his empire, but ensured that he would be remembered as an "enlightened ruler."--Wikipedia.

Download or read book From Joseph II to the Jacobin Trials written by Ernst Wangermann and published by Praeger. This book was released on 1979 with total page 240 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book deals with the interaction of government policy and public opinion in the Habsburg Dominions in the period of the French Revolution. It describes the impact of Joseph II's enlightened despotism on the life and political consciousness of his subjects, especially the non-privileged orders. It traces the influence of the political hopes and discontents aroused by the reforms from above on the policy of Joseph himself and of his successors. The substitution of repression for concessions by Francis II provoked an active opposition in the ranks of the non-privileged orders presaging the 19th century liberal and democratic movements. The opposition was silenced by the Jacobin Trials, for many aspects of which this is the first documented account.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This text focuses on two main themes: the ideas of the enlightened thinkers of the 18th century; and the extent to which such concepts were utilized by European monarchs. The discussion considers why these rulers were anxious to be associated with enlightened ideas, yet so rarely put them into practice. The minor rulers who can be classed as enlightened despots and the influence of the Enlightenment on the conduct of foreign policy are also considered.
Download or read book Hungary and the Habsburgs 1765 1800 written by Éva H. Balázs and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 450 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Eva H. Balazs, one of the foremost living authorities on eighteenth century Central Europe, examines a crucial period in the co-existence of the Austrian hereditary provinces and Hungary. In a Europe torn by wars and revolutions, in the last third of the eighteenth century, political, economic and personal factors interwined to determine the fortunes of the Austrian rulers and the subjects of the Hungarian crown who collaborated with them in a subordinated status. Rejecting commonplaces of the centre-periphery approach, the author argues that the Habsburg monarchy was a 'centre' whose reforms in this period inspired all subsequent movements for reform in Eastern and Central Europe. Professor Balazs's skill in combining great wealth of archival material -- not only from Austria, Hungary, Poland and Slovakia, but (unprecedented in this field) also from France, gives the reader a near-contemporary proximity to the figures and developments discussed.
