Ebook: Adeligkeit, Katholizismus, Mythos: Neue Perspektiven auf die Adelsgeschichte der Moderne

What role did religion and myth play in the aristocracy’s oft-cited struggle to “stay on top?” How did they influence private life and public  behavior, shape economic thinking and action, change the image of women and men, ideas about education and love, and the relationship to other social classes? The essays in this volume develop new perspectives on the history of the aristocracy in the modern age.
