Extract

Rare is the book that helps to shift the paradigm upon which an entire field rests. Such a book is Pieter Judson's The Habsburg Empire: A New History. Building on insights and critical approaches that have been emerging and developing for the last twenty to thirty years, Judson offers a fresh framework—a new scaffolding for interpreting the Austrian Habsburg monarchy, especially since the early eighteenth century.

Footnotes

The publication of Pieter Judson's The Habsburg Empire: A New History (Cambridge, MA: The Belknap Press of Harvard University Press, 2016) represents a landmark in Habsburg studies. Central European History asked four historians from different corners of the field to comment on this work. William Bowman (Gettysburg College), Gary B. Cohen (University of Minnesota, Twin Cities), Michael Yonan (University of Missouri), and Tara Zahra (University of Chicago) agreed to participate in our forum. Each scholar prepared an initial statement on the book, and, in a second phase, each had the opportunity to read the others’ remarks and respond. Finally, Pieter Judson graciously agreed to offer his comments on the forum as a whole. We are excited to offer readers a diverse and insightful forum that opens up new perspectives on the scholarship of the Habsburg lands and beyond.
