Joseph II (1780-1790) and the Josephinism. Historiographic introduction to a elaborated file

Summary/Abstract: After centuries, the emperor Joseph II known as the most reformative personality of the House of Habsburg remains a much debated and periodically re-examined subject. It has been the case both in the universal and in the national historiographies; the Romanian one could not make an exception, on the contrary, it represented a very prolific milieu. Anticipating upcoming studies based on the vast documentary sources focused on the personality of the “revolutionary Habsburg”, in the present study we propose a historiographic review of the most important literature dedicated to this controversial figure. In order to succeed in our limited attempt we gradually refer to the climate within which different works had been produced, going on from general to particular achievements.
