From sharing personal matters to discussing delicate secrets, all layers of early modern society had their motives for wanting to keep certain exchanges out of public eyes and ears, and ways of trying to achieve this. Detecting such instances in historical sources typically becomes a complex pursuit, full of subtle references that require creative approaches, especially when it comes to more informal practices. Yet, in a reading against the grain, different sources can offer us hints of how conversations took place in private. The book consists of a historiographical and methodological introduction to the study of private conversations, followed by ten case studies from a variety of cities, villages, and countryside across early modern Europe. The concluding epilogue suggests some pathways to further explore the terrain of how people have talked in private in past societies. 2024-03-13T11:10:44Z 2024-03-13T11:10:44Z 2024 book ONIX_20240313_9783031466304_33 9783031466304 9783031466298 https://library.oapen.org/handle/20.500.12657/88341 eng application/pdf n/a 978-3-031-46630-4.pdf https://link.springer.com/978-3-031-46630-4 Springer Nature Palgrave Macmillan 10.1007/978-3-031-46630-4 10.1007/978-3-031-46630-4 6c6992af-b843-4f46-859c-f6e9998e40d5 9e7d9460-9df5-467c-a69b-94cdfdec067e c473f9ec-5d94-429c-a408-a88ef323f1ef 55dc56b6-d18a-4666-85af-175588763f0e 9783031466304 9783031466298 Palgrave Macmillan 350 Cham [...] [...] [...] open access
