Abstract

The chapter analysis through primary sources from political treatises, parliamentary speeches and protocols, correspondence and diaries, the theoretical definition and practical approach to citizenship in the noble-dominated Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. A special emphasis is being put here on non-noble citizens claiming membership in the civic society of the Commonwealth (burghers, Cossacks, Jews), and the differences in these approaches and civic political behaviour in the various territorial parts of the Commonwealth, often deeply influenced by different religions (Orthodox Ruthenia, Protestants and Catholic in Lithuania and Royal Prussia, Catholic domination in the core territories of the Crown of Poland, etc.). The book itself endeavours to put the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth into a wider European perspective.
The book was double-peer-reviewed by Professors Bogdan Szlachta and Andrzej Zakrzewski.
