Anna Grze?kowiak-Krwawicz seeks to trace the evolution of the ideal of ?golden liberty? from the state?s creation in the sixteenth century through to the distinctive degeneration of the idea and attempts at resuscitating it in the eighteenth century. She highlights what was different or even odd about the Polish concepts, as well as how they dovetailed into the broader European tradition stretching back to antiquity. This book broadens the European perspective of scholarship on the Republican tradition and presents the fascinating political thought of the ?Republic of the Two Nations?. ? 410 0$aStudies in Central European Histories$v56. 606 $aLiberty$xHistory 606 $aNobility$xPolitical activity$zLithuania$xHistory 606 $aNobility$xPolitical activity$zPoland$xHistory 606 $aPolitical culture$zLithuania$xHistory 606 $aPolitical culture$zPoland$xHistory 607 $aLithuania$xIntellectual life 607 $aLithuania$xPolitics and government 607 $aPoland$xIntellectual life 607 $aPoland$xPolitics and government$y1572-1763 615 0$aLiberty$xHistory. 615 0$aNobility$xPolitical activity$xHistory. 615 0$aNobility$xPolitical activity$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 615 0$aPolitical culture$xHistory. 676 $a320.01/1 700 $aGrzes?kowiak-Krwawicz$b Anna$01201732 702 $aSax$b Daniel J. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785603903321 996 $aQueen Liberty$93784992 997 $aUNINA
