The new work by the professor at the New York University Mikhail Iampolsky regards the metamorphoses of power in Europe of the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries. The author goes into the process of the taper of a monarch's sacred dimension and transition of power from a person to the impersonal body in Europe from the Late Middle Ages till the French Revolution referring to voluminous materials on the European history. Iampolsky conducts an in-depth inquiry into the issues related to symbol and allegory, mimesis and independence attending a sovereign's expulsion from the community under his control that created a symbolic connection between a king and a hangman.
