Many historians have considered rituals like these as irrelevant to understanding modern governance-an idea that this volume challenges through illuminating case studies focused on the eighteenth- and nineteenth-century Habsburg lands. Taking the formal elasticity of these events as the key to their lasting relevance, the contributors explore important questions around their political, legal, social, and cultural significance and their curious persistence as a historical phenomenon over time.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eKlaas Van Gelder\u003c\/strong\u003e is a postdoctoral researcher at the State Archives in Ghent and at Ghent University, Belgium.
