When there is a discussion about the transition in Prussia around 1800, as a rule this refers to the reforms which began after 1806. In contrast to this, this volume attempts to focus on other subjects which had previously not received much attention from researchers of Prussian history and in particular to explore the processes of changes within contemporary Prussian society at that time. The articles deal mainly with historico-cultural issues as well as with the changes in the law but also examine the history of the social classes and the crisis of confidence and authority in Prussia before 1806.
