This is done in three steps: first, the content and function of these self-narratives are analysed with reference to current research on early modern self-narratives. In a second step, the life and family history of Osvaldo Ercole Trapp are examined from a microhistorical perspective and placed within the context of the early modern history of Tyrol's nobility. A third step then goes into detail on individual contexts and discourses that refine one's comprehension of these self-narratives: noble masculinity; family, house and line; theories of procreation and education; body experience and body images. It combines textual analysis, historical anthropology with a strong gender-historical perspective, microhistory and the history of the body as a history of experience and discourse. With this approach, the study makes an innovative contribution to early modern studies on self-narratives, social history of early modern nobility and the history of the body as the history of experience and discourse.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis volume will be of interest to students and scholars alike interested in intellectual, social and cultural history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Siglinde Clementi\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1032440619\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781032440613\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Routledge\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/01\/2023\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 216\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.04lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.56d","brand":"Siglinde Clementi","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44450037793023,"sku":"9781032440613","price":170.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_c4d120f1-58ef-4764-8afd-cb1de19a81d2.jpg?v=1698502414","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/body-self-and-melancholy-siglinde-clementi-9781032440613","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
