Italian writer and nobleman Giuseppe di Lampedusa wrote significantly in his memoirs, that he wanted to describe the space of his childhood and people of which he was surrounded. How would the territory, time and people look like in the stories of eight children of last Austro-Hungarian ambassador by the Holy See, the prince Johann Schönburg-Hartenstein? What places formed their view of the world? How did their time flow? What people influenced them and what kinds of education methods were used in an aristocratic family on the end of the 19th century and in the first half of the 20th century? This thesis is attempting on untraditional view on history of childhood in aristocracy through the point of view of their children. There are used various sources like memoirs, correspondence, but also childish drawings or narration of the youngest daughter of Prince Johann Schönburg-Hartenstein, Sophie Carillo. For the education of noble children, there was typical to live in history, the care of tutors and governesses, bringing up to duties, the veneration of old traditions or periodical travelling. The thesis is using the knowledge of psychology for the reconstruction of motivations, relationships between brothers and sister, but also directly each person in the family, their dream worlds and games? |
