Description

 							
  In 1957 Ernst Kantorowicz published a book
that would be the guide for generations of scholars through the arcane mysteries of medieval political theology. In The
King's Two Bodies, Kantorowicz traces the historical problem posed by the "King's two bodies" - the body politic and the
body natural - back to the Middle Ages and demonstrates, by placing the concept in its proper setting of medieval
thought and political theory, how the early-modern Western monarchies gradually began to develop a "political
theology."
  
  The king's natural body has physical attributes, suffers, and dies, naturally, as do all
humans; but the king's other body, the spiritual body, transcends the earthly and serves as a symbol of his office as
majesty with the divine right to rule. The notion of the two bodies allowed for the continuity of monarchy even when the
monarch died, as summed up in the formulation "The king is dead. Long live the king."
  
  Bringing together
liturgical works, images, and polemical material, The King's Two Bodies explores the long Christian past behind this
"political theology." It provides a subtle history of how commonwealths developed symbolic means for establishing their
sovereignty and, with such means, began to establish early forms of the nation-state.
  
  Kantorowicz fled
Nazi Germany in 1938, after refusing to sign a Nazi loyalty oath, and settled in the United States. While teaching at
the University of California, Berkeley, he once again refused to sign an oath of allegiance, this one designed to
identify Communist Party sympathizers. He resigned as a result of the controversy and moved to the Institute for
Advanced Study in Princeton, where he remained for the rest of his life, and where he wrote The King's Two Bodies.
