内容説明
In their own domains within 18th century Hungary, the Esterhazy family rivaled their Habsburg rulers in splendour and refinement. During the reigns of Maria Theresia and Joseph II, the monarchy sought to curtail the power of the Esterhazy and other nobles by implementing centralizing reforms in their lands. Historian Rebecca Gates-Coon documents the world of the Esterhazy estates during these years of reform. Drawing on extensive research in archives rarely visited by Western historians, she offers a broad description of the social, economic, and political life of these princely estates. Gates-Coon begins by describing the geographical extent of the vast Esterhazy lands. She then focuses on the Esterhazy themselves - the people, their magnificent dwellings, their households. She describes the Esterhazy's political and social role within the multinational ruling class of the Habsburg monarchy. She also examines the impact of the radical agricultural reforms of Maria Theresia and Joseph II, both on the nobility and on the peasants. This examination of the Esterhazy estates offers an uncommon look at the Hungarian side of the Austro-Hungarian Empire.
It demonstrates that while life on the splendid Esterhazy estates proceeded in its customary fashion through much of this period, glimmerings of change were apparent at all social levels, the results of governmental actions and changing attitudes commonly known as 18th-century "enlightened" thought.
