• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

Cities and Solidarities charts the ways in which the study of individuals and places revitalises our understanding of urban communities as dynamic interconnections of solidarities in pre-modern Europe. Combining theoretical frameworks with digital methodologies, this volume sheds new light on the socio-economic conditions, the formal and informal institutions, and the strategies of individual town dwellers that explain the similarities and differences in the organisation and functioning of urban communities. This collection makes fascinating reading for students and scholars of medieval and early modern urban history.
