Sí, por favor búsquenme este libroThe power of monarchs has traditionally been as much symbolic as actual, rooted in popular imagery of sovereignty, divinity, and authority. In "Mystifying the Monarch," a distinguished group of contributors explores the changing nature of that imagery# and its political and social effects# in Europe from the Middle Ages to the present day. They demonstrate that, rather than a linear progression where perceptions of rulers moved inexorably from the sacred to the banal, in reality the history of monarchy has been one of constant tension between mystification and demystification.
Eds. Jeroen Deploige and Gita Deneckere
