This wide-ranging and multifaceted work shows how the state shaped the aristocracy and transformed its political, economic, cultural, and status power. From a theoretical perspective, State and Status is both innovative and significant; Clark is the first to link the anti-functionalist historical sociology of Western Europe with the functionalist or neofunctionalist tradition in sociology.Aristocracy (Political science)EuropeHistory18th centuryPower (Social sciences)EuropeHistory18th centuryAristocracy (Political science)EuropeHistoryPower (Social sciences)EuropeHistoryState, TheAristocracy (Political science)HistoryPower (Social sciences)HistoryAristocracy (Political science)History.Power (Social sciences)History.State, The.320.1/094Clark Samuel1945-1521682MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910782188603321State and status3761029UNINA
