Its subject, the polymath and schoolteacher Christian Daum, is today completely forgotten, yet left behind one of the largest private archives of any early modern European scholar. On the basis of this unique source, this book portrays schools as focal points of a whole world of Lutheran learning outside of universities and courts, as places not just of education but of intense scholarship, and examines their significance for German culture.Multi-confessional Germany was different from Catholic France and Protestant England in that its network of small cities fostered educational and cultural competition and made possible a much larger and socially open Republic. This book allows us for the first time to understand how the Republic of Letters was constructed from below and how it was possible for individuals from relatively humble backgrounds and occupations to be at the centre of European intellectual life.This book is aimed at other specialists as well as postgraduate students in the fields of cultural and social history, and can also serve as an introduction to recent European literature on early modern scholarship for undergraduate students. 410 0$aStudies in early modern European history. 606 $aSchools$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01107958 606 $aLearning and scholarship$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00994857 606 $aIntellectual life$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00975769 606 $aEducation, Secondary$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00903252 606 $aSchools$zGermany$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aLearning and scholarship$zGermany$xHistory$y17th century 606 $aEducation, Secondary$zGermany$xHistory$y17th century 607 $aGermany$2fast 607 $aGermany$xIntellectual life$y17th century 608 $aHistory. 610 $aChristian Daum. 610 $aGerald Strauss. 610 $aGerman culture. 610 $aGerman education. 610 $aHoly Roman Empire. 610 $aLatin schools. 610 $aLutheran schooling. 610 $ahumanist education. 610 $aintense scholarship. 610 $anetwork of correspondents. 610 $apedagogical method. 610 $aseventeenth-century German Republic of Letters. 610 $asocial mobility. 610 $ateacher-scholars. 615 7$aSchools. 615 7$aLearning and scholarship. 615 7$aIntellectual life. 615 7$aEducation, Secondary. 615 0$aSchools$xHistory 615 0$aLearning and scholarship$xHistory 615 0$aEducation, Secondary$xHistory 676 $a943.04 700 $aRoss$b Alan S.$f1978-$01714974 801 0$bMdBmJHUP 801 1$bMdBmJHUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910809348803321 996 $aDaum's boys$94109199 997 $aUNINA
