A greater fluidity in social relations and hierarchies was
experienced across Europe in the early modern period, a consequence
of the major political and religious upheavals of the sixteenth and
seventeenth centuries. At the same time, the universities of Europe
became increasingly orientated towards serving the territorial
state, guided by a humanistic approach to learning which stressed
its social and political utility. It was in these contexts that the
notion of the scholar as a distinct social category gained a
foothold and the status of the scholarly group as a social elite
was firmly established. University scholars demonstrated a great
energy when characterizing themselves socially as learned men. This
book investigates the significance and implications of academic
self-fashioning throughout Europe in the early modern period. It
describes a general and growing deliberation in the fashioning of
individual, communal and categorical academic identity in this
period. It explores the reasons for this growing self-consciousness
among scholars, and the effects of its expression - social and
political, desired and real.
