Small Towns in Early Modern Europe
Despite the great wave of publications on European cities and towns in the pre-industrial period, little has been written about the thousands of small towns which played a key role in the economic, social and cultural life of early modern Europe. This collection, written by leading experts, redresses that imbalance. It provides the first comparative overview of European small towns from the fifteenth to the early nineteenth century, examining their position in the urban hierarchy, demographic structures, economic trends, relations with the countryside, and political and cultural developments. Case studies discuss networks in all the major European countries, as well as looking at the distinctive world of small towns in the more 'peripheral' countries of Scandinavia and central Europe. A wide-ranging editorial introduction puts individual chapters in historical perspective.
The Complexity of Hispanic Religious Life in the 16th–18th Centuries
In The Complexity of Hispanic Religious Life in the 16th–18th Centuries, Doris Moreno has assembled a team of leading scholars to discuss and analyze the diversity of Hispanic religious and cultural life in the Early Modern Age. Using primary sources to look beyond the Spanish Black Legend and present new perspectives, this book explores the realities of a changing and plural Catholicism through the lens of crucial topics such as the Society of Jesus, the Inquisition, the Martyrdom, the feminine visions and conversion medicine. This volume will be an essential resource to all those with an interest in the knowledge of multiple expressions of tolerance and cultural dialectic between Spain and the Americas.
Death in Fifteenth Century Castile
Differences in attitudes to death and dying in two distinct social classes, the ecclesiastics and the nobility. The theory of the three estates made clear distinctions between the functions of the two estates which comprised the elite of medieval society: the oradores (ecclesiastics) and the defensores (warriors or nobility).They had different lifestyles, clothing and ways of thinking about life. With regard to death, the responses dictated by Christian theology conflicted with the demands of the defensor ideology, based on the defence of individual honour, the pursuit of fama and the display of earthly power. This book charts the progress of the dying from their preparations for death, thro...
Slavery in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia
Slavery in Medieval and Early Modern Iberia provides a sweeping survey of the many forms of bound labor in Iberia from ancient times to the decline of slavery in the eighteenth century.
Family and Empire
In the medieval and early modern periods, Spain shaped a global empire from scattered territories spanning Europe, Africa, and the Americas. Historians either have studied this empire piecemeal—one territory at a time—or have focused on monarchs endeavoring to mandate the allegiance of far-flung territories to the crown. For Yuen-Gen Liang, these approaches do not adequately explain the forces that connected the territories that the Spanish empire comprised. In Family and Empire, Liang investigates the horizontal ties created by noble family networks whose members fanned out to conquer and subsequently administer key territories in Spain's Mediterranean realm. Liang focuses on the Ferná...
The Empire of the Cities
This study of the Spanish monarchy, bureaucracy and representative government under Charles V before and after the "comunero" revolt (1520-1521) demonstrates how the emperor and Castilian republics institutionalized management procedures that promoted accountability, advanced a meritocracy, and facilitated expansionism and domestic stability.
La Compañía de Jesús en la Salamanca universitaria (1548-1767). Aspectos institucionales, socioeconómicos y culturales
El libro que ahora se edita representa una aportación importante al estudio de la historia de Salamanca y su Universidad, en la etapa clásica, mediante el análisis de una de sus instituciones más prestigiosas: la Compañía de Jesús. Tras una larga y laboriosa búsqueda realizada en varios archivos nacionales e internacionales, y un trabajo que ha supuesto a su autor algunos años de investigación, el resultado ha sido el presente análisis global y sistemático. Con una estructura clásica, que nos permite reconstruir gran parte de uno de los colegios más importantes de la orden religiosa, con datos de primera mano, desconocidos hasta ahora. A lo largo de sus páginas, Cristo José d...
La nobleza en España: ideas, estructura e historia
Esta obra de Faustino Menéndez-Pidal de Navascués, quien fue director honorario de la Real Academia de la Historia, constituye un fascinante estudio de la nobleza española, en cuanto clase rectora y modelo social a imitar. Análisis antropológico, social y económico de un grupo dominante en nuestro devenir histórico, que se extiende a la totalidad de los reinos hispánicos y que, en un estilo sencillo y accesible al gran público, permite comprender los anhelos y luchas de un colectivo humano que luchó por perpetuar linaje, patrimonio y señas externas de identidad. La obra refleja incluso su imagen y retrato en nuestra literatura y se extiende hasta la reacción antinobiliaria que, con antecedentes en el pensamiento de la Ilustración, culmina en la Revolución francesa y encuentra en el primer tercio del siglol XIX el principio del fin de un modo de vida en la normativa desamortizadora, que provocaría el fin de la isntitución del mayorazgo. Las bellas ilustraciones que se incoropran no son solo mero adorno, sino que ayuda a entender y desarrollan gráficamente muchas de las ideas expresadas por el autor.
