{"product_id":"disunion-within-the-union-larry-wolff-9780674246287","title":"Disunion Within the Union: The Uniate Church and the Partitions of Poland","description":"\u003cp\u003eBetween 1772 and 1795, Russia, Prussia, and Austria concluded agreements to annex and eradicate the Commonwealth of Poland-Lithuania. With the partitioning of Poland, the dioceses of the Uniate Church (later known as the Greek Catholic Church) were fractured by the borders of three regional hegemons. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eLarry Wolff's deeply engaging account of these events delves into the politics of the Episcopal elite, the Vatican, and the three rulers behind the partitions: Catherine II of Russia, Frederick II of Prussia, and Joseph II of Austria. Wolff uses correspondence with bishops in the Uniate Church and ministerial communiqu s to reveal the nature of state policy as it unfolded. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eDisunion within the Union\u003c\/i\u003e adopts methodologies from the history of popular culture pioneered by Natalie Zemon Davis (\u003ci\u003eThe Return of Martin Guerre\u003c\/i\u003e) and Carlo Ginzburg (\u003ci\u003eThe Cheese and the Worms\u003c\/i\u003e) to explore religious experience on a popular level, especially questions of confessional identity and practices of piety. This detailed study of the responses of common Uniate parishioners, as well as of their bishops and hierarchs, to the pressure of the partitions paints a vivid portrait of conflict, accommodation, and survival in a church subject to the grand designs of the late eighteenth century's premier absolutist powers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Larry Wolff\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0674246284\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780674246287\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Harvard Ukrainian Research Institute\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/06\/2020\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 160\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.55lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.50d","brand":"Larry Wolff","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46685721690367,"sku":"9780674246287","price":18.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_30ef16d1-1878-4141-9519-b21970dfb17e.jpg?v=1741726565","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/disunion-within-the-union-larry-wolff-9780674246287","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
