Research Interests:

Professor Patrouch’s first monograph centers on rural authority and religious change in the lands of the Austrian Habsburgs in the late sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries - A Negotiated Settlement: The Counter-Reformation in the Habsburg Province of Upper Austria. He currently is completing a second book-length manuscript detailing the life and undertakings of the Austrian Habsburg archduchess Elizabeth (1554-1592). Here he examines the intersections of court, dynastic, Holy Roman Imperial, gender, rural, and urban histories through analysis of seigniorial, artistic, architectural, literary, financial, and epistolary evidence. He is also interested in the city of Vienna, and was Guest Professor at the University of Vienna in Spring, 2004. His English translation of a book on contemporary Vienna by Heinz Fassmann and Gerhard Hatz, Understanding Vienna: Pathways to the City is scheduled to be published soon.

Professor Patrouch has been a guest researcher at institutes affiliated with the University of Potsdam, the University of Leipzig, the University of Vienna, the Johannes Kepler University in Linz, and the University of South Bohemia at Ceske Budejovice.
