Cambridge Studies in Early Modern HistorySéria

Táto séria sa ponára do kľúčového obdobia raného novoveku a skúma zložité vzťahy medzi kontinuitou a premenou. Analyzuje, ako stredoveké myšlienky, politické a spoločenské štruktúry ovplyvňovali vývoj a ako nové myšlienky, metódy a požiadavky narúšali tradičné usporiadanie. Monografie a štúdie v tomto rade ponúkajú hlboký vhľad do charakteru tejto formujúcej éry a jej trvalého odkazu.

This book presents a social and cultural history of 'dishonourable people' (unehrliche Leute), an outcast group in early modern Germany. Executioners, skinners, grave-diggers, shepherds, barber-surgeons, millers, linen-weavers, sow-gelders, latrine-cleaners, and bailiffs were among the 'dishonourable' by virtue of their trades. It shows the extent to which dishonour determined the life-chances and self-identity of dishonourable people. Taking Augsburg as a prime example, it investigates how honourable estates interacted with dishonourable people, and shows how the pollution anxieties of early modern Germans structured social and political relations within honourable society.

Noel Geoffrey Parker
4,2(112)Ohodnotiť
The publication of The Army of Flanders and the Spanish Road in 1972 marked the birth of the "new military history", which emphasized military organization--mobilization, pay, supply, morale and, above all, logistics--rather than military "events" such as sieges and battles. Constantly cited since its first publication in English (with translations into Spanish and Dutch), this revised updated second edition includes new sources and references but otherwise remains faithful to the original edition.
