| description | This article analyses the dissemination and adaptation of Pietism in Upper Hungary and Upper Silesia, with a particular focus on the Pressburg and Teschen centres, during the first third of the eighteenth century. This period saw a complex process of cultural and social exchange within Halle’s missionary
project. It summarizes the role of religious writings, patronage mechanisms, printing and distribution, and personal communication networks in transmitting new forms of piety and pedagogy from German centres to these regions. The article explores in particular how these border regions reinforced connections among themselves and with other significant hubs in the network, such as Lusatia, Transdanubia, and Vienna. The latter emerged as a major target of Pietist propaganda, challenging previous research on the effectiveness of local censors and necessitating a re-evaluation of the hubs of cultural exchange of Pietism within the Habsburg Monarchy. Additionally, the study addresses the challenges of adopting and adapting Pietist pedagogical reform programme in the examined areas. Despite political, religious, and cultural obstacles that impeded full implementation in the semi-legal context, these educational reforms had a notable influence by the end of the century, even in predominantly Catholic regions of the Habsburg Monarchy, thereby contributing to its composite intellectual history. |
