[EAN: 9783525101360], Neubuch, [PU: Vandenhoeck & Ruprecht], Hardcover. English summary: For a long time the political impact of princesses in the centuries following the Reformation has been largely ignored by historians. This is partly due to the complexity of the existing body of source material, but also to the social conventions in Early Modern Europe that often confined women to operating primarily "behind the scenes". Recent research on prominent princesses, such as Duchess Elisabeth of Brunswick-Calenberg, Electress Anna of Saxony and Duchess Dorothea Susanna of Saxe-Weimar, have, however, impressively shown that women of high nobility in various situations decisively shaped religious and confessional politics at and beyond the territorial level employing a broad array of means and resources. The present collection of essays examines forms and effects of this influence, thereby offering a multifaceted series of new studies on women of high nobility in the 16th and 17th century. German description: Lange blieb die entscheidende Wirkung von Furstinnen in den Jahrhunderten nach der Reformation ausserhalb des Blinkwinkels der historischen Forschung. Dieses Phanomen ist zum Teil der relativ schwierigen Quellenlage, aber auch fruhneuzeitlichen Konventionen geschuldet, die Frauen haufig primar "hinter den Kulissen" agieren liessen. Neuere Forschungen zu prominenten Furstinnen, wie Herzogin Elisabeth von Braunschweig-Calenberg, Kurfurstin Anna von Sachsen und Herzogin Dorothea Susanna von Sachsen-Weimar, zeigen jedoch eindrucksvoll, wie hochadlige Frauen in unterschiedlichen Situationen mit vielfaltigen Mitteln die Religionspolitik und Bekenntnisbildung auf territorialer und uberregionaler Ebene pragten. Die Beitrage widmen sich der Frage nach der Gestalt und den Moglichkeiten dieser Mitwirkung und prasentieren dabei facettenreiche neue Studien zu hochadeligen Frauen des 16. und 17. Jahrhunderts.
