Absolutism in Central Europe is about how the European monarchy was defined by contemporaries, how it emerged and developed, and how it has been interpreted by historians and political and social scientists. It investigates how scholars from a variety of disciplines have defined and explained political development across what was formerly known as the 'age of absolutism'. It assesses whether the term still has utility as a tool of analysis and explores the wider ramifications of the process of state-formation from the experience of central Europe from the early seventeenth century to the start of the nineteenth.Wilson, Peter is the author of 'Absolutism in Central Europe' with ISBN 9780415233514 and ISBN 0415233518.
