  • Summary

  • In this edition of Druckfrisch we discussed the book “The American Revolution and the Habsburg Monarchy” with author Jonathan Singerton.

    The book presents the American Revolution from the perspective of the Habsburg monarchy. It reveals how, despite seeming antithetical to the American cause, the Habsburg dynasty and people in the Habsburg lands realized the opportunity unleashed by the creation of the thirteen United States of America, demonstrating the wider effects of the American Revolution beyond the standard Atlantic World and portraying the Habsburg Monarchy in a new, oceanic light.

    Chair: Maren Röger, Leibniz-Institut für Geschichte und Kultur des östlichen Europa (GWZO) Discussants: Jana Osterkamp, LMU München and Axel Körner, Universität Leipzig

    Reply: Jonathan Singerton, Universität Innsbruck The event was jointly organized by the Leipzig Research Centre Global Dynamics, the ERC-Project “Opera and Politics of Empire in Habsburg Europe, 1815–1914”, and the Leibniz-Institute for History and Culture of Eastern Europe (GWZO).
