Abstract

The Pomp and Politics of Patriotism concentrates on the official presentation of Franz Joseph (Habsburg emperor from 1848-1916) as a symbol of common identity in the Austrian half of the Habsburg Monarchy (Cisleithania). The book also considers the use or rejection of this imagery by regional social and nationalist factions. By examining the imperial cult, The Pomp and Politics of Patriotism illuminates the tension between national and supra-national identity in an age of expanding political representation. [Jacket]
