Der Hochadel erscheint im Blick über Europa hinweg als eine Sozialformation mit einem eigenen Selbstverständnis und mit einer internen Kommunikation. Das zeigt das Beispiel des Wettiners Johann (1801-1873). Welche Vorstellungen hatten Johann und seine Familie vom Hochadel, von Standesgrenzen und standesgemäßem Verhalten? Wie verstand Johann seine Legitimation? Und welche symbolischen Praktiken gewährleisteten wiederum die Exklusivität der Gruppe und die Auratisierung des Einzelnen im Alltag? Die Korrespondenz, die gegenseitigen Besuche sowie die für das Selbstverständnis des Hochadels wichtigen Heiraten bilden die Schwerpunkte der Darstellung. Während ständische Strukturen in dieser Epoche an Bedeutung verloren, war es ihre Binnenkommunikation, die dieser Sozialformation die Chance eröffnete, als Erinnerungsgruppe fortzubestehen.

Der Band zeigt neue Perspektiven zur Adelsgeschichte der Moderne auf. Er lotet für das gesamte 19. und 20. Jahrhundert die Möglichkeiten einer kulturalistisch erweiterten Sozialgeschichte aus und rückt dabei vor allem lebensweltliche Zusammenhänge zwischen Adeligkeit und Katholizismus sowie das mythische Potential des Adels ins Blickfeld: Inwieweit fungierte die Konfession als Wegbereiter spezifischer Werte, Einstellungen und Verhaltensweisen? Wie beeinflusste sie private Lebensführung und öffentliches (politisches) Handeln, wie prägte sie wirtschaftliches Denken und Agieren, Frauen- und Männerbilder, Vorstellungen von Erziehung und Liebe sowie das Verhältnis zu anderen sozialen Schichten? Was erzählen uns die um adelige Herrscher kreisenden Mythen über die moderne Gesellschaft? Welche Rolle spielen eigentlich Religion und Mythos im inflationär zitierten adeligen Kampf ums "Obenbleiben"?Der Band versammelt Arbeitsergebnisse einer Eichstätter Forschergruppe, die ausschließlich aus Nachwuchswissenschaftlern besteht.

Adelskultur und Rechtskultur waren in der Frühen Neuzeit in vielfältiger Hinsicht mit einander verbunden. Die Beiträge in diesem Sammelband eröffnen eine europäische Perspektive auf die Problemkreise der Verrechtlichung des sozialen Handelns, auf die Mitwirkung an der Ausgestaltung und Implementierung von Rechtsstandards und zuletzt auf die Frage nach den Effekten auf die Praxis adeligen Lebens. Aristocratic culture and legal culture were heavily interlinked during the Early Modern period. The essays in this compendium disclose a European perspective on problems in the juridification of social commerce, participation in the design and implementation of legal standards, and ultimately on the question of how juridification affected the practices of aristocratic life.

Thème secondaire, mais thème constamment présent dans la littérature poétique ancienne, la richesse et la pauvreté méritaient une étude systématique de leur vocabulaire, et de son emploi. Le lexique de la pauvreté et de la richesse en poésie s'organise essentiellement dans l'opposition entre trois termes abstraits pour la richesse (aphenos, olhns et piaulas) et un pour la pauvreté (penia) : il apparaît donc que l'un des champs lexicaux est privilégié au détriment de l'autre et que la misère matérielle n'avait que peu de place dans la littérature poétique ancienne. Les nuances sémantiques et les variations stylistiques entre aphenos, richesse de prestige, ()Ibos, "bonne" richesse aux connotations divines et aristocratiques, et ploulos, richesse "mauvaise", mortelle, corruptrice et barbare, nous renseignent sur les représentations, notamment entre Grecs et Barbares, et sur leurs évolutions, qui rappellent la montée de la bourgeoisie, notamment industrielle, dans l'occident contemporain, avec la même opposition entre ancienne et nouvelle richesse. Le lexique de la pauvreté, avec penia, reste rare, comme attendu dans une littérature surtout aristocratique, avec les exceptions de Théognis, aristocrate victime de la révolution démocratique, ou Euripide, et Aristophane, qui s'intéressent aux questions de société, et surtout à l'isolement social, affectif, et politique du pauvre. Enfin le p<<ïchos (le mendiant) comporte les mêmes éléments, mépris et exclusion, mais avec la dimension folklorique du "dieu déguisé", et le déguisement d'Ulysse lors de son retour, mythe célèbre qui connaît de nombreuses variations, notamment chez Sophocle et Euripide. Par l'analyse de toutes les occurrences de ces mots dans les plus grands textes de la littérature grecque antique (épopée, lyrisme, poésie tragique), cet ouvrage apporte non seulement la compréhension du statut de la richesse et de la pauvreté dans l'antiquité, niais permet une meilleure compréhension des textes, de leurs enjeux et de leurs intentions.

This book examines the rise and fall of the aristocratic Lacy family in England, Ireland, Wales and Normandy. This involves a unique analysis of medieval lordship in action, as well as a re-imagining of the role of English kingship in the western British Isles and a rewriting of seventy-five years of Anglo-Irish history. By viewing the political landscape of Britain and Ireland from the perspective of one aristocratic family, this book produces one of the first truly transnational studies of individual medieval aristocrats. This results in an in-depth investigation of aristocratic and English

The Favor of Friends offers the first book-length exploration of intercession—aid and advocacy by one individual or group in behalf of another—within early medieval aristocratic societies. Drawing upon a variety of disciplines and historiographical traditions, Sean Gilsdorf demonstrates how this process operated, and how it was ideologically elaborated, in Carolingian and Ottonian Europe, allowing individuals and groups to leverage their own, limited interpersonal networks to the fullest, produce new relationships, gain access to previously closed spaces, and generate interest in their agendas from those able to effect change. The Favor of Friends enriches our understanding of early medieval politics and rulership, offering a model of political interaction in which hierarchy and comity do not stand in ideological and pragmatic tension, but instead work in integrated and mutually-reinforcing ways.

Reconstructing the collective experience of an entire provincial nobility over a period of more than two centuries, James Wood finds current theories about the early modernFrench nobility inadequate. Concentrating on socio-economic structures and changes, he analyzes the composition and way of life of all the nobles--poor and prosperous, obscure and notable--who lived in the election of Bayeux between the mid-fifteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries. Combining a regional historical perspective with the methods of quantitative social history, Professor Wood demonstrates the broader significance of his findings for general historical interpretations of the nobility and of early modern France as well.Originally published in 1980.The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press.
