And while we've long since shed that view, it nonetheless continues to influence our understanding of contemporary politics. This book offers thirteen case studies from premodern and contemporary Europe that demonstrate the process through which political corporations - bodies politic - were and continue to be constructed and challenged. Drawing on history, archaeology, literary criticism, and art history, the contributors survey a wide geographical and chronological spectrum to offer a panoramic view of these dynamic political entities. 588 0 Print version record. 599 Princeton permanent acquisition. 650 0 Kings and rulers |xHistory. 650 7 Kings and rulers. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst00987694 655 7 History. |2fast |0(OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 Mroziewicz, Karolina Anna, |d1983- |eeditor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n2015068503 700 1 Sroczyński, Aleksander, |eeditor. |0http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/no2018033567 776 08 |iPrint version: |tPremodern Rulership and Contemporary Political Power. |dAmsterdam : Amsterdam University Press, [2017] |z9789462983311 |w(OCoLC)979568126 910 JSTOR DDA purchased
