Age, Marriage, and Politics in Fifteenth-Century Ragusa

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This book combines the insights of history and anthropology with innovative techniques such as computer simulation to investigate the relationships between politics, kinship, and marriage in the late-medieval city-state of Ragusa (present-day Dubrovnik). At its heart is a reconsideration of office' and the ways in which ties of kinship and marriage were mobilized to build electoral success.
