Historyk i społeczeństwo — funkcjonowanie nauki historycznej w osiemnastowiecznej monarchii duńsko-norweskiej
Historian and Society — Functioning of the Science of History in Eighteenth-Century Denmark and Norway

Summary/Abstract: The eighteenth century in Denmark and Norway, the countries united under the rule of the Danish Oldenburg dynasty, brought about changes in the social functioning of history after the adaptation of modern ideas of the Republic of Letters (Respublica literaria). They included such phenomena as the emergence of early informal communities and associations, conflicts and disputes resulting from the collision of hierarchic science based on authority with trends of new humanities characterized by criticism and the desire to free scholars’ opinions from traditional and estate criteria, and cooperation and mutual assistance between historians. Changes also affected relations between Danish and Swedish historians.
