Queenship in Europe 1660-1815: The Role of the ConsortClarissa Campbell Orr Cambridge University Press, 12 օգս, 2004 թ. - 419 էջ This pioneering survey of court cultures from 1660 1815 uses the role of the queen consort as the principal means of inquiry. The principal themes explored are the consort's formal and informal power, her religious role, and her cultural patronage. The courts surveyed include those of France, Spain, Russia, Sweden, Denmark, the Imperial court at Vienna, and three German electorates linked to monarchies: Brandenburg-Prussia, Saxony-Poland and Hanover (Great Britain). The fourteen authors include distinguished scholars and new researchers from Britain, the USA and the continent. |
