What is the book about?
This volume investigates the origins of one of the most important notions of contemporary society: privacy.

Contribution to privacy research
The essays in this volume make a key contribution to the emergence of early modern privacy studies as a research field, and to the ongoing discussion of privacy in the Low Countries. Equally, these case studies can serve as models for the analysis of privacy in other European contexts. (https://www.brepols.net/products/IS-9782503604442-1)
