Such alternative modes of adhesion countered the hegemonic model of kingship upheld by divine right, reason of state, or corporate fidelities and privileges with subject-driven attachments and practices. \u003ci\u003eAbsolutist Attachments\u003c\/i\u003e discovers absolutism's alternative political and cultural legacy—not the spectacle of an unbound king but the binding connections of his subjects.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgements\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction: Conversation with a King\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 1: Loving Alexander, or the Emotions of Absolutism\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 2: Media Wars: Emotion, Information, and the Passage of the Rhine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 3: Feeling Newsy: Donneau de Visé\u003cbr\u003e Writes the Sun King’\u003cbr\u003es Wars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 4: Boileau’\u003cbr\u003es Bad Taste and the Sieges of Namur, 1692-1695\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChapter 5: The Surgeon King: Wounding and the Body Politic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConclusion: A Passion without a Name\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorks Cited\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"Northwestern University Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52555666653464,"sku":"9780810139411","price":24.37,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/absolutist-attachments-emotion-media-and-absolutism-in-seventeenth-century-france-paperback-softback-9780810139411","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
