The households of European rulers remained central to politics and culture throughout the eighteenth century, and few writers, artists, musicians, or scholars could succeed without establishing connections to ruling houses, noble families, or powerful courtiers.Covering case studies from Spain and France to Russia, and from Scandinavia and Britain to the Holy Roman Empire, the contributions of this volume examine how Enlightenment figures were integrated into the princely courts of the Ancien Régime, and what kinds of relationships they had with courtiers. Dangers and opportunities presented by proximity to court are discussed as well as the question of what rulers and courtiers gained from their interactions with Enlightenment men and women of letters. The book focusses on four areas: firstly, the impact of courtly patronage on Enlightenment discourses and the work as well as careers of Enlightenment writers; secondly, the court as an audience to be catered for by Enlightenment writers; thirdly, the function of Enlightenment narratives and discourses for the image-making of rulers and courtiers; and fourthly, the role the interaction of courtiers and Enlightenment writers played for the formulation of reform policies"--Page 4 of cover. 650 0 $a Enlightenment. 650 0 $a Courts and courtiers $x History. 650 0 $a Literary patrons $z Europe $x History $y 18th century. 650 0 $a Art patronage $z Europe $x History $y 18th century. 651 0 $a Europe $x Social life and customs $x Social life and customs $y 18th century. 650 7 $a Art patronage. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00815756 650 7 $a Enlightenment. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00912527 650 7 $a Kings and rulers $x Social life and customs. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01353515 650 7 $a Courts and courtiers. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00881829 650 7 $a Literary patrons. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00999944 651 7 $a Europe. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245064 650 7 $a Philosophy. $2 ukslc 648 7 $a 1700-1799 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 700 1 $a Biskup, Thomas, $d 1971- $e editor. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000078926066 700 1 $a Marschke, Benjamin, $e editor. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000116626671 700 1 $a PecÌar, Andreas, $e editor. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000066348561 700 1 $a Tricoire, Damien, $d 1981- $e editor. $1 https://isni.org/isni/0000000399586592 776 08 $i ebook version : $z 9781800856264 773 18 $w 990075856550202771 $g no:31858072358942 830 0 $a Oxford University studies in the Enlightenment ; $v 2022:08. 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117025806.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=479756900CD411EEAAE9666853ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
