Nobilities in Transition 1550-1700: Courtiers and Rebels in Britain and Europe: Reconstructions in Early Modern History

Autor Ronald Asch
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 30 iul 2003
Nobilities in Transition explores the transformation of the nobility in the late 16th and 17th centuries. This book looks at political and social changes, examines the impact princely courts had on noblemen and women and their way of life and analyses issues such as the 'refeudalization' of state and society in southern Europe or the increasing urbanization of noble elites in the period under discussion. While paying due attention to the great heterogeneity of the nobility in Europe it nevertheless shows how the adherence to common values and ideals nevertheless gave noble elites coherence and a shared sense of identity

Recenzii

'Asch constructs his survey from a staggering array of secondary sources and is quick to point out exceptions to his general assertions...The interesting snippets about nobles in countries off the beaten track makes this work a worthwhile read, and his discussion of the change in nobility from flamboyant display to self-control is persuasive.'
'The picture that finally emerges..is one in which the culture of European nobilities was undoubtedly transformed in the early modern era. This involved some sacrfices, although the abandonment of military retinues and clientage formed a part of a process of adaptation, rather than the final decline of an effete and dying social elite, obsessed with privelege, as so often portrayed in the past.'
'Highly recommended.'
