Monarchies and the Great War

“In Monarchies and the Great War, the latest volume in the ‘Palgrave Studies in Modern Monarchy’ series, Matthew Glencross and Judith Rowbotham have assembled nine chapters that seek to determine how monarchy ‘performed ... [and] was perceived to perform’ amidst total war … . this is a very welcome and thought-provoking contribution to an oft-neglected field.” (Jonathan Triffitt, Royal Studies Journal, Vol. 6 (1), 2019)
