Rodzina szlachecka w świetle staropolskich poradników gospodarskich
Streszczenie
The household guides were one of the most popular and widely read literary
genre among the nobles in the 16th and the 17th century. They were willingly read
not only due to the practical information on how to run a household, but they also included guidelines on how to proceed in order to achieve completeness. Agronomic
literature promoted active way of living and consistent cooperation between
the husband and the wife, and encouraged them to multiply their property, at the
same time aiming at common good. It was emphasized that happiness and prosperity
of each family influence the welfare of the Polish Republic as a whole. This
kind of literature promoted a specific type of matrimony where both spouses had
clearly specified assignments in the view of God, of each other, their children, their
neighbours, and their homeland.
