Medieval Towns de Maryanne Kowaleski

Medieval Towns

Editat de Maryanne Kowaleski
en Limba Engleză Paperback – aug 2008

Analiza noastră asupra volumului Medieval Towns are ca punct de plecare baza documentară extinsă de 150 de surse primare, un instrument de lucru esențial pentru studiul istoriei urbane. Publicată sub egida University of Toronto Press, această lucrare editată de Maryanne Kowaleski propune o perspectivă proaspătă asupra vieții cotidiene medievale, depășind cadrul convențional al cartelor și cronicilor oficiale. Suntem de părere că forța acestui volum rezidă în diversitatea materialelor selectate: de la mărturii despre disputele matrimoniale și rolul femeilor în orașe, până la detalii despre mediu și ritualuri civice. Cartea extinde cadrul propus de Understanding Medieval Primary Sources de Joel T. Rosenthal cu date noi extrase din arhive europene mai puțin explorate, oferind 35 de traduceri inedite din limbi precum daneza medievală sau franco-venețiana. În contextul operei sale, Medieval Towns consolidează preocupările autoarei pentru structurile economice și sociale, vizibile în Local Markets and Regional Trade in Medieval Exeter, dar și interesul pentru dinamica de gen explorat în Gendering the Master Narrative – Women and Power in the Middle Ages. Structura este una interdisciplinară, unde demografia și arheologia completează analiza istorică tradițională. Deși se concentrează pe nucleele urbane din Italia și Țările de Jos, volumul oferă o deschidere rară către Europa de Est și spațiul germanic, oferind o imagine de ansamblu asupra complexității spațiului urban între secolele XI și XV.

Descriere scurtă

This exciting new collection of documents from across Europe gives a fresh perspective and sharp taste of everyday life in a medieval town. The sources range from the standard chronicles and charters to the less often viewed accounts of marriage disputes, urban women, families, the environment, the dangers of town life, and civic ritual. Deliberately wide-ranging, these sources acknowledge the contributions of other disciplines-such as archaeology, architecture, demography, law, and environmental studies-to our understanding of urban life in the Middle Ages. Towns from Spain to Germany to Russia are covered, while the focus is on the more urbanized regions of medieval Europe, particularly Italy, the Low Countries, France, and England. In all, 150 primary sources are included, 35 of which are translated for this volume from Latin, Old French, Anglo-Norman, Franco-Venetian, medieval Danish, and other languages.
