Contents Barberini buy a piece of paradise while they descend into hell -- Before it was a dirty word : politics in the Roman countryside, 1640s-1680s -- Adversary as patron : inviting the Barberini into village politics, 1660-1685 -- Epistolary ambush of Monte Libretti : how nobles met the challenge of the papacy in the early eighteenth century -- Paternalism and politics : benevolent adversaries, antagonistic patrons -- Writing resistance : village attacks on textual monopolies in eighteenth-century Italy.
Summary Four generations of the aristocratic Barberini family and its "vassals", clashed over how the early modern Roman countryside should be governed. Villagers sometimes cultivated noble interference, but they frequently resisted it through the strategies of adversarial literacy, political ways of reading and writing that challenged noble hegemony in the village.
