Abstract

The book analyses the collective career of the artistic profession in Brno and Vilnius and the necessity to copy the behavior of the elites of the Old Regime. The "noble" values, which shaped the artistic careers in the 19thcentury press, were charity, good taste, cosmopolitism and patriotism. The newspaper discourse disposed potential to integrate and to smuggle novelties by exposing old values.

Abstract

The life of an aristocratic Carolingian man involved an array of behaviors and duties associated with his gender and rank: an education in arms and letters; training in horsemanship, soldiery, and hunting; betrothal, marriage, and the virile production of heirs; and the masterful command of a prominent household. In Be a Perfect Man, Andrew J. Romig argues that Carolingian masculinity was constituted just as centrally by the performance of caritas, defined by the early medieval scholar Alcuin of York as a complete and all-inclusive love for God and for fellow human beings, flowing from the whole heart, mind, and soul. The authority of the Carolingian man depended not only on his skills in warfare and landholding but also on his performances of empathy, devotion, and asceticism.Romig maps caritas as a concept rooted in a vast body of inherited Judeo-Christian and pagan philosophies, shifting in meaning and association from the patristic era to the central Middle Ages. Carolingian discussions and representations of caritas served as a discourse of power, a means by which early medieval writers made claims, both explicit and implicit, about the hierarchies of power that they believed ought to exist within their world. During the late eighth, ninth, and early tenth centuries, they creatively invoked caritas to link aristocratic men with divine authority. Romig gathers conduct handbooks, theological tracts, poetry, classical philosophy, church legislation, and exegetical texts to outline an associative process of gender ideology in the Carolingian Middle Ages, one that framed masculinity, asceticism, and authority as intimately interdependent. The association of power and empathy remains with us to this day, Romig argues, as a justification for existing hierarchies of authority, privilege, and prestige.

Abstract

As scholarship continues to expand the idea of medieval Europe beyond 'the West,' the Rus' remain the final frontier relegated to the European periphery. The Kingdom of Rus' challenges the perception of Rus' as an eastern 'other' - advancing the idea of the Rus' as a kingdom deeply integrated with medieval Europe, through an innovative analysis of medieval titles. Examining a wide range of medieval sources, this book exposes the common practice in scholarship of referring to Rusian rulers as princes as a relic of early modern attempts to diminish the Rus'. Not only was Rus' part and parcel of medieval Europe, but in the eleventh and twelfth centuries Rus' was the largest kingdom in Christendom.

Abstract

"Drie dochters uit de adellijke Antwerpse familie Goubau, in 1715 als kinderen wees geworden, zochten als tieners en twintigers hoe zij hun familie zowel materieel als emotioneel bij elkaar konden houden. De drie zussen Goubau steunden op tantes, neven en nichten, grootmoeders, vriendinnen en enkele ooms om hun persoonlijke levens en familiale ambities te realiseren. In hun brieven leren we hoe hun netwerk functioneerde en hoe zelfstandig zij waren. De langst levende van de drie, Joanna Theresia Goubau, geraakte door haar huwelijk met James Dormer stevig in de Antwerpse elite verankerd en combineerde voor de kinderen zorgen met zakendoen, ook nadat ze weduwe geworden was. Een dubbelhuwelijk van haar dochter en haar stiefzoon met telgen uit de prominente familie van Brouchoven van Bergeyck zette de kroon op het werk en consolideerde de familie als een emotionele gemeenschap. Het familiearchief, nu bewaard in kasteel Cortewalle in Beveren, ontsluit ons hun wereld" --

Abstract

Este libro explica el funcionamiento del poder en la Monarquía de España durante los siglos XVI y XVII desde la perspectiva de las conexiones entre sus diversos reinos, dotado cada uno de su propio marco político-constitucional, y una nobleza que comparte una identidad sustancial, aun cuando adopte comportamientos específicos derivados de las particularidades de esos territorios.
