About this ebook
"The great virtue of Royal Highness is its relaxed, fairy-tale quality that naturally brings the reader inside that 'Edwardian' calm which preceded everything common to contemporary social life. It is very easy to make connections between the book and theories of stratification, statemaking, ritual, legitimacy, even the political economy of preindustrialized states."—Alan Sica, author of Weber, Irrationality, and Social Order

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5While RH is a story about a prince and his princess, it is completely absurd to call this novel a "fairy tale." RH is, at most, a modern telling of a chivalric romance, more along the lines of Zola and Lawrence than anything by the brother's Grimm. The work of an obviously young Mann, RH shows much of the style and depth of his later works. Beautiful and brilliant, Royal Highness rings with literary excellence.
