Nobility was at the heart of the Old Regime in every sense: socially, economically, politically, culturally. Its temporary demise in France was one of the earliest and most celebrated achievments of the French Revolutionaries. This collection of essays provides a uniquely comprehensive introduction to the world of Europe’s nobilities at the apex of their power and influence, the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. Chapters by national specialists examine the social role, economic power and political influence of these elites across Europe, from Britain to Russia and Sweden to Portugal. The subsequent trajectories of these nobilites during the nineteenth and twentieth centuries is also examined, making these two volumes a unique introduction to a group which is now seen as having played a central role in Europe’s modern history.CONTENTSIntroduction: The Consolidation of Noble Power in Europe, c. 1600-1800; H.M.Scott & Christopher StorrsThe British Nobility, 1660-1800; John CannonThe Dutch Nobility in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries; J.L.PriceThe French Nobility, 1610-1715; Roger MettamThe French Nobility, 1715-1789; Julian SwannThe Nobility in Spain, 1600-1800; I.A.A.ThompsonNobility and Aristocracy in Ancien Régime Portugal; Nuno G.MonteiroThe Italian Nobilities in the Seventeenth and Eighteenth Centuries; Claudio DonatiGuides to Further Reading

    BThe religious communities of early modern Eastern Europe—particularly those with a mystical bent—are typically studied in isolation.

In Holy Dissent: Jewish and Christian Mystics ...
