ABSTRACT This article analyses the early modern book collecting activities of the Devonshire branch of the Cavendish family as an example of elite cultural capital accumulation across multiple generations. The detailed records of seventeenth-century book collection by the first, second and third Earls of Devonshire and their librarian-tutor Thomas Hobbes (1588–1679), demonstrate the development of the collection at Hardwick Hall as a resource for investment information, political news, scholarly activity and children’s education. The family tradition was continued by the first Duke of Devonshire (1640–1707) who shifted the base of collection to Chatsworth House, and the bibliophile second Duke (1673–1729) who expended vast amounts on works using an array of London booksellers; as did the third Earl of Burlington (1694–1753), and the Duchess Georgiana Cavendish (1757–1806) thereafter. These collections were amalgamated at Chatsworth by the sixth Duke of Devonshire at the start of the nineteenth century, where this account concludes.

藏书的谱系:卡文迪什家族藏书的早期历史,1599-1811

摘要 本文分析了卡文迪什家族德文郡分部的近代早期藏书活动,作为跨代精英文化资本积累的一个例子。德文郡第一、第二和第三伯爵及其图书管理员托马斯·霍布斯(Thomas Hobbes,1588-1679 年)对 17 世纪藏书的详细记录,展示了哈德威克大厅的藏书作为投资信息和政治新闻资源的发展、学术活动和儿童教育。第一任德文郡公爵 (1640–1707) 将收藏基础转移到查茨沃斯庄园 (Chatsworth House),而藏书家第二代公爵 (1673–1729) 则利用一系列伦敦书商在作品上花费了大量资金,延续了这一家族传统。第三代伯灵顿伯爵 (1694–1753) 也是如此,以及之后的乔治亚娜·卡文迪什公爵夫人 (1757–1806)。十九世纪初,第六代德文郡公爵在查茨沃斯合并了这些藏品,本文就此结束。
