Frederick William IV, King of Prussia from 1840 to 1861, was arguably the most important German monarch in the century between the death of Frederick the Great and the accession of William II. Using the years of Frederick William IV's reign as the framework, this book studies the structures, institutions, and finally the transformations of the Prussian monarchial system during this revolutionary period, thereby enriching our understanding of the nineteenth-century European state as a whole.
