And while ideas may not possess bodies, the people originating these ideas must inhabit a physical space; thus even in the abstract republic of letters, knowledge always bore the imprint of its location. One such location, in the 1630s, was the Queen of Bohemia\u2019s exile court in The Hague. Geographically, culturally, and intellectually, it was an environment perfectly suited to these learned encounters\u2014a unique environment that produced a very specific form of intellectual association and knowledge-making.<\/p>\n<p>This paper considers the scholarly interactions at the exile court as a case study in the intellectual geography of seventeenth-century Europe; and through this analytical lens, it emerges as more than just a locus for learned exchange. The heady mix of minds at the exile court also represented a wide range of accomplishment\u2014from celebrated scholars at one end of the scale to eager learners at the other\u2014whose interaction was such that this location also functioned in some ways as an academy. And one of the unique features of this ephemeral academy was that it was especially useful for the development of female scholarship.<\/p>\n<p>Since female scholars lacked the supportive environment of the university, they used the physical location of the exile court as both a locus of association, and a site for learning and mentorship. Extant evidence documents female scholars from Germany, Ireland, France, and the Netherlands engaging with the world of ideas as participants, colleagues, and mentors, eschewing the more familiar roles of hostess, patron, or acolyte. This paper consider four women\u2014Anna Maria van Schurman, Marie du Moulin, Princess Elisabeth of Bohemia, and Dorothy Moore\u2014for whom the exile court was both a space of association and an ad-hoc academy in the republic of letters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An Ephemeral Academy at the Exile Court: The Hague in the 1630s Intellectual Geography\u00a0\/ Monday 5 September, 2011 As new scholarship continues to demonstrate, knowledge does not just emerge\u2014it is produced.
