Jeroen Duindam 144922 - Myths of Power. Norbert Elias and the early-modern European court

 1552571308,
Amsterdam University Press, 1994. Paperback. Pp: 234. Myths of Power is both a critical analysis of Norbert Elias' historical works and an interpretation of court life in early modern Europe. Jeroen Duindam submits Elias' interpretation to the test of more than half a century of historical scholarship about the court. One general conclusion emerges: Elias' approach to the early modern European court contains many misunderstandings. Nevertheless, Duindam suggests, elements of Elias' paradigm can still be used in a new, more solidly-based interpretation of courtly society. Elias' works on court life confronted by the insights of modern historical scholarship. ISBN: 9789053561362. Cond./Kwaliteit: Goed.
