"Noble conceptions of politics in eighteenth-century |
|
Sweden (ca 1740 1790) is a study of how the Swedish |
|
nobility articulated its political ideals, self-images |
|
and loyalties during the Age of Liberty and under the |
|
rule of Gustav III. This book takes a close look at the |
|
aristocracy s understanding of a free constitution and at |
|
the nobility s complex relationship with the monarchy. |
|
Central themes are the old notion of mixed government, |
|
classical republican conceptions of liberty and |
|
patriotism, as well as noble thoughts on the rights and |
|
duties of the citizen, including the right to rebellion |
|
against an unrighteous ruler. The study is a conceptual |
|
analysis of public and private political statements made |
|
by members of the nobility, such as Diet speeches and |
|
personal correspondence. The book contributes to the |
|
large body of research on estate-based identities and the |
|
transformation of political language in the second half |
|
of the eighteenth century by connecting Swedish political |
|
ideals and concepts to their European context." |
