Reviews<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201c<\/em>Embers of Empire is a highly impressive, thoroughly researched, and very well-written collection that draws on sources from multiple archives across all of the languages of the successor states. It will be of great interest to historians of Europe and Habsburg scholars, as well as specialists focusing on Eastern Europe and the Balkans.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 G\u00fcnter Bischof<\/strong>, University of New Orleans<\/p>\n

\u201cThe brilliant and well-informed essays in this collection insightfully deal with continuities between the late Habsburg and post-Habsburg eras. It exemplifies the recent stream of scholarship that has significantly revised the history of the Habsburg Empire and its legacies.\u201d<\/em> \u2022 Rudolf Ku\u010dera<\/strong>, Masaryk Institute and Archives of the Czech Academy of Sciences<\/p>\n

Description<\/strong><\/p>\n

The collapse of the Habsburg Monarchy at the end of World War I ushered in a period of radical change for East-Central European political structures and national identities. Yet this transformed landscape inevitably still bore the traces of its imperial past. Breaking with traditional histories that take 1918 as a strict line of demarcation, this collection focuses on the complexities that attended the transition from the Habsburg Empire to its successor states. In so doing, it produces new and more nuanced insights into the persistence and effectiveness of imperial institutions, as well as the sources of instability in the newly formed nation-states.<\/p>\n
