This volume focuses on nature, religion and politics - three “environments” of early modernity. Exemplary studies from pietism research, historical disaster studies, interdisciplinary environmental history and the history of transnational connectivity provide close-up insights into a plurality of lifeworlds and environments. Seen as a whole, these perspectives offer a broader understanding of early modern “environments” as material as well as cultural contexts of historical events and experiences, and encourage the crossing of the boundaries between established fields of research.weiterlesen
