This major new study weaves insights from new research into a comprehensive account of German social, political and cultural development across two and a half centuries. Wilson addresses fundamental questions, such as how the apparently fragile structure of the Holy Roman Empire survived the trauma of the Thirty Years War and why, despite gross social inequality, Germany did not experience mass French-style revolution.
