This book argues that the periodic ceremonial intrusion into the everyday lives of people across the Ottoman Empire - the annual royal birthday and accession-day celebrations - had multiple, far-reaching and largely unexplored consequences. On the one hand, it brought ordinary subjects into symbolic contact with the monarch and forged lasting vertical ties of loyalty to him, irrespective of language, location, creed or class. On the other hand, the rounds of royal celebration played a key role in the creation of new types of horizontal ties and ethnic group consciousness that crystallised into national movements and, after the empire's demise, national monarchies.
