John Deak. Forging a Multinational State: State Making in Imperial Austria from the Enlightenment to the First World War
Scholars of state-building have taken various approaches to account for the difference among varieties of modern state forms. Much of this work has to do with the emergence of the modern state in conjunction with the rise of absolutism in the early modern period (or its absence). In the case of the Habsburgs, questions about state formation have often been tied to enduring narratives involving imperial decline, as historians attempt to locate the…

Epilogue
The epilogue returns to the main arguments of the book, that the aristocracy absorbed new notions of the national community and applied them to the creation of national institutions that changed the institutional landscape of the public sphere, but that the revolution in 1848 also profoundly changed the political landscape, making the reconciliation of class and nation problematic in the latter half of the nineteenth century.
Political Opposition and Revolution
The last chapter of the book deals with the explicitly political arena by exploring the options for political opposition and the nature of political engagement among the aristocracy. This chapter argues that in a society in which political action was seriously curtailed, particularly in the post‐1792 period, intellectual and cultural engagement provided a critical alternate forum for public, if not directly political, action. The work of national…
The Aristocratic World of the Eighteenth Century
Chapter 1 focuses on all the constraints, institutions, and norms of the premodern world, and looks at the way these played out in Central Europe. This entails discussion of the gravitational pull of traditional aristocratic privilege and lifestyle, the impact of landed power on identity, the role of imperial politics and the connection of the aristocracy to state authority, the impact of the French and German political and cultural worlds, cosmo…
A Cultured Nation
The changes in aristocratic patronage, the cultural landscape of art and theaters, and the transformation of public and private cultural spaces like gardens, theaters, and palaces are the focus of chapter 4. This chapter builds on the book's argument that cultural institutions were formative national organizations, and that aristocrats were central to the growth of these organizations, demonstrating that eighteenth‐century elites in Bohemia trans…
Patriotic Science and the Weal of the Nation
The book's third chapter focuses on the intellectual institutions established in Bohemia between the 1740s and the second decade of the nineteenth century, and places them in the context of broader institutional change within Europe and the Habsburg lands. The analysis in this chapter covers the motivations behind the founding of individual institutions as well as their impact on the subsequent development of the intelligentsia and the national c…
The Challenges of Reform and Revolution
Chapter 2 examines the relationship of the aristocracy to empire, king, estate, and nation in light of the intellectual, political, and social upheavals of the eighteenth century. The challenges of reform and revolution undermined aristocratic social dominance, threatened elite political power, and challenged traditional hierarchies in the state. These threats did make aristocrats more likely to question the sources and potential longevity of the…
Czech, German, and Noble: Status and national identity in Habsburg Bohemia
This book examines the intellectual ideas and political challenges that inspired patriotic activity among the Bohemian nobility, the infusion of national identity into public and institutional life, and the role of the nobility in crafting and supporting the national ideal within Habsburg Bohemia. Patriotic aristocrats created the visible and public institutional framework that cultivated national sentiment and provided the national movement with…
