It argues that Lutheran confessional culture became intertwined with Enlightenment ideas and practices in this European region. In the book’s three parts, specialist historians explore themes central to students of the early modern era – historical writing, material culture, ecclesiastical and legal reform, censorship, cameralism and innovative medical practices. It offers a timely reconsideration of a complex period in European history from a northern perspective.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003eReason and orthodoxy in the Nordic countries: an introduction – Johannes Ljungberg and Erik Sidenvall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart I: Enlightenment in rural societies\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1 The rural spectator: clergy as agents of Enlightenment in eighteenth-century Norway – Arne Bugge Amundsen\u003cbr\u003e2 Promoting individualism under the guise of uniformity: a bishop’s instructions in late eighteenth-century Sweden – Erik Sidenvall\u003cbr\u003e3 Tuomas Ragvaldinpoika: the Finnish self-taught and disabled man as a writer of ephemeral literature – Tuija Laine\u003cbr\u003e4 Applications of the three-estate doctrine: Swedish local sermons and the social order, 1790–1820 – Joonas Tammela\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePart II: Dealing with the Catholic past (and present)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5 In the midst of thick and wretched darkness: enlightened orthodoxy and the heritage of the medieval Church – Terese Zachrisson\u003cbr\u003e6 A problematic legacy: negotiating the medieval past in Danish eighteenth-century church interiors – Martin Wangsgaard Jürgensen\u003cbr\u003e7 Saints and Enlightenment: St Erik of Sweden in eighteenth-century Swedish history-writing – Henrik Ågren\u003cbr\u003e8 A history of its own?
