The (Swéerts-) Sporcks and Their Subjects: Local and Transcultural Printing and Distribution of Heterodox Books in Eighteenth-Century Bohemia
Original language description
The chapter explores the circulation and function of books connected with the Sporck and Swéerts-Sporck noble families and their subjects. It studies the interaction of various religious and linguistic cultures and the interplay between the transcultural and the local. It draws attention to common historical actors, long-overlooked contexts, and grassroots perspectives. It combines the macro-, meso-, and micro-perspectives, which take into account attitudes towards books and understandings of religious (non)conformity at various levels, including state and church authorities, their administrative officials, and small local communities. The author shows that the suspicion of heresy as well as the book circulation and consumption at the Sporck and Swéerts-Sporck estates covered almost the entire social spectrum: nobility and their servants (Hofstaat), seigneurial officers, hospital residents, local artisans, and farmers. The eighteenth century is often regarded as a period of increased production and availability of books, yet we should not overlook the less evident, hidden presence of underground books, which emerge only in connection with persecution.
