Books By Jeroen (Professor of History, Leiden University) Duindam - Author

Jeroen Duindam is Professor of History and Chair for Early Modern History at the University of Leiden. He has published extensively on the history of courts and rulers, initially focusing on Europe, before gradually extending his research interests to include Asia and Africa. Between 2011 and 2016 he led a prestigious Dutch research programme on Eurasian empires, and he currently leads a research project on 'monarchy in turmoil', which examines the response of rulers in the Netherlands and Germany to reform and revolution between 1780 and 1820. Duindam is the editor for the series Rulers and Elites (Brill), and has authored three monographs: Dynasties: A Global History of Power 1300-1800 (Cambridge 2016), Vienna and Versailles: The Courts of Europe's Dynastic Rivals, c. 1550-1780 (Cambridge 2003), and Myths of Power: Norbert Elias and the Early Modern European Court (Amsterdam 1995), all of which have helped in shaping the comparative study of courts and rulers.
