While the assumption of a sharp distinction between learned culture
and lay society has been broadly challenged over the past three
decades, the question of how ideas moved and were received and
transformed by diverse individuals and groups stands as a
continuing challenge to social and intellectual historians,
especially with the emergence and integration of the methodologies
of cultural history. This collection of essays, influenced by the
scholarship of H.C. Erik Midelfort, explores the new methodologies
of cultural transmission in the context of early modern Germany.
Bringing together articles by European and North American scholars:
this volume presents studies ranging from analyses of individual
worldviews and actions, influenced by classical and contemporary
intellectual history, to examinations of how ideas of the
Reformation and Scientific Revolution found their way into the
everyday lives of Germans of all classes. Other essays examine the
ways in which individual thinkers appropriated classical, medieval,
and contemporary ideas of service in new contexts, discuss the
means by which groups delineated social, intellectual, and
religious boundaries, explore efforts to control the circulation of
information, and investigate the ways in which shifting or
conflicting ideas and perceptions were played out in the daily
lives of persons, families, and communities. By examining the ways
in which people expected ideas to influence others and the
unexpected ways the ideas really spread, the volume as a whole adds
significant features to our conceptual map of life in early modern
Europe.
