Old regimes, both on a metaphorical and a concrete level, were about to fall and be replaced with something radically new. But the ideals of the En- lightenment – political and religious tolerance, freedom of thought, the belief in human rationality and progress – lived side by side with traditional values: political stability, religious unity, control of dangerous thoughts, the belief in divine providence, and a past golden age. The people of the eighteenth century lived at this crossroads of old and new paths. It is often said that it is first in the eighteenth century we find humans that we immediately can understand and intuitively feel we share something with. We are as post-modernists descendants of these first modern humans. The literary remains, diaries, letters, protocols and other sources let us peer into the minds and lives of the people at this turbulent and critical moment in human history – a time when old beaten tracks met new roads leading into the future. The contributions to this volume of Sjuttonhundratal: Nordic Yearbook for Eighteenth-Century Studies all deal in various ways with the Old and the New. It is about ingenuity and classical erudition, the rights of women and control of sexual behaviour, military life and new markets, religious tolerance
