Between Texts and Textiles. The (Swéerts-)Sporcks, Textual Practices and Cultural Exchange at the Turn of Baroque and Enlightenment
2016
Abstract
The book brings new, interdisciplinary interpretations of texts and artefacts connected with the generation of the heirs of Franz Anton Sporck. The production and circulation of these textual and material artefacts was often the result of the processes of cultural transfers and gift giving (such as patronage and exchange).
The monograph makes available for the first time in the form of an edition the long-term correspondence of Anna Katharina Swéerts-Sporck with the nuns of the Tyrolean abbey of Sonnenburg. The monograph is equiped with rich visual material (which is analyzed in the book) and with index.
