The Making of a Court Society
Table of contents
Royal and Elite Households in Medieval and Early Modern Europe
In this volume, the authors bring fresh approaches to the subject of royal and noble households in medieval and early modern Europe. The essays focus on the people of the highest social rank: the nuclear and extended royal family, their household attendants, noblemen and noblewomen as courtiers, and physicians. Themes include financial and administrative management, itinerant households, the household of an imprisoned noblewoman, blended households, and cultural influence. The essays are grounded in sources such as records of court ceremonial, economic records, letters, legal records, wills, and inventories. The authors employ a variety of methods, including prosopography, economic history, visual analysis, network analysis, and gift exchange, and the collection is engaged with current political, sociological, anthropological, gender, and feminist theories.

A llha do Tesouro
Um dos maiores clássicos da literatura infanto-juvenil, A Ilha do Tesouro é considerada uma das obras responsáveis pela imagem hollywoodiana dos piratas e de seus tesouros. Fim Hawhins é o filho dos proprietários de uma pensão em Bristol, uma cidade litorânea da Inglaterra do século XVIII. O garoto passará a viver diversas aventuras após a chegada de um velho marinheiro, conhecido como Billy Bonés. Vários acontecimentos terminam por colocar o jovem Fim num verdadeiro navio pirata e, em seguida, em contato com um valioso tesouro. Nesta obra aparecem os detalhes mais comuns das histórias de piratas, como o mapa do tesouro e o local marcado com X onde estão as riquezas. Escrito em 1883, quando o autor escocês tinha 30 anos, foi o primeiro grande sucesso de Robert Louis Stevenson, que no ano seguinte conquistaria ainda mais fama com o lançamento de O Médico e o Monstro, sua obra mais conhecida.

Before Middle Passage: Translated Portuguese Manuscripts of Atlantic Slave Trading from West Africa to Iberian Territories, 1513-26
On the 20th of January 1526, the Santiago left Lisbon bound for Africa with a cargo of brass and tin bracelets, round bells, barber basins and cloth; by early October the ship was back in Portugal with a very different cargo, 108 enslaved Africans. With chilling detachment the ship’s trading log records the commodification of human beings, the prices paid for them, the sums received for their sale and the number who did not survive the crossing. Whilst this log may be extremely rare, it is clear from another surviving document, the receipt book of the customs office of the Portuguese Cape Verde Islands, that such voyages were commonplace in the early years of the sixteenth century. The bul...
