Summary:
Drawing on a variety of disciplines - history, sociology, theology,
philosophy, and the history of law - this major work takes a
searching new look at the social and intellectual history of Germany
in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, challenging the orthodox
view that the literature of this period reflects the struggle of
middle class and aristocracy. The author argues instead that it was
an era of conflict between two camps, one traditionalist, one
modernising, with representatives from different classes in each;
broadly speaking, the clergy and professional educators were
primarily traditionalists, while modernisation was promoted by
lawyer-administrators, some in the service of the princely courts.
