The World of the Salons is a revisionist study of the French salon of the eighteenth century, arguing that it was a place governed by social hierarchy, not equality, connected to the world of the Court, and not the fount of the Enlightenment as has traditionally been believed.

This study uses the Czech national movement in the Austrian Empire between the late 1820s and the late 1850s to examine the complex set of social, physical, physiological, and moral requirements through which women became crucial social and political actors responsible for the existence of modern national communities. Situated within the larger frameworks of public and private spheres, contemporary Czech discussions of the positionality of women, and an understanding of the categories of gender and “woman” as fluid concepts, this book analyzes how Czech nationalists—in relation to and in comparison with other nineteenth-century nationalist movements—proposed that women become the central agents of the process to guarantee the continuity of the nation.

The volume by a team of authors offers entirely new perspectives on topics that have hitherto been reflected only marginally in the study of noble elites. It attempts to capture certain problems in the nobility's existence between the 17th and 20th century – from a regional probe of the development of noble tenure in the northern Bohemia, through legal issues related to the identity and careers of the Silesian nobility, the influence of roads on the shaping and transformation of the landscape and noble estates, insights into the world of the nobility on the basis of egodocuments, issues of family strategies and illegitimate children, and the abolition and withdrawal of noble titles, to the involvement of the nobility in the SS during the Nazi Third Reich.
