Pieter M. Judson is Professor of 19th and 20th Century History at the European University Institute in Florence, Italy.
The Habsburg Empire is Judson's attempt at a grand, unified history
of Austria-Hungary for our times...Habsburg history is not the same
after this book.--Natasha Wheatley"London Review of Books"
(08/30/2018)
Judson forever banishes images of the Habsburg Empire as a decrepit
and declining anachronism. This is the history we have been waiting
for since the empire disappeared from Europe's map.--Tara Zahra,
author of The Great Departure: Mass Migration from Eastern Europe
and the Making of the Free World
Strongly revisionist and effortlessly wide-ranging, Judson's book
offers a strikingly original interpretation of Austria-Hungary as
an empire rather than a collection of hostile national groups. This
powerful insight should change how we think about European
history.--Robert Nemes, author of Another Hungary: The
Nineteenth-Century Provinces in Eight Lives
A masterpiece of historical rethinking by one of the great Habsburg
historians of our age. Judson reminds us of how little we have
fully grasped the subtleties and complexities of Habsburg
history.--Larry Wolff, author of The Idea of Galicia: History and
Fantasy in Habsburg Political Culture
