Hardback. Zustand: Good. At home and in the public sphere, at work and even - in some notable cases - at war: from the 16th through to the 18th centuries, the presence and actions of women from the top of the social hierarchy to the bottom were continually discussed by those who observed and often feared them. The third volume in this series draws a richly detailed picture of women in early modern Europe, a world that seems in odd ways a walled garden of words and images, meant to circumscribe an expansive and even stronger "weaker sex". Considering women in the context of work, marriage, and family, the authors describe a complex society in which the conduct of peasant and princess alike was expected to conform to rules largely established by masculine authority. We see the very different ways in which the highborn and the humble operated within these constraints: the poor or middle-class woman going to work in domestic service or the trades to shore up her dowry and so her chances of marriage; the aristocrat parlaying her position into marriage, and often into political influence as well. In the realm of appearance and sexuality, we see women obedient to norms and fashions but still attentive to their own desires. In the education of women, progress was uneven, pushed forward by religious reformation and economic need, but held back by the belief that only men should have full command over the empire of reason. At the heart of this volume is "woman" as she appears in a wealth of representations, from simple woodcuts and popular literature to master paintings; and as the focal point of debate - sometimes funny, sometimes acrimonious - conducted in every field: letters, arts, philosophy, the sciences, and medicine. Against oppressive experience, confining law, and repetitious claims about female "nature", women took initiative by quiet manoeuvres and outright dissidence. In conformity and resistance, in image and reality, women from the 16th to the 18th centuries emerge from these pages in remarkable diversity.…

Paperback. Zustand: Good. The rich and complex texture of working-class neighborhoods in eighteenth-century Paris comes vibrantly alive in this collage of the experiences of ordinary people?men and women, rich and poor, masters and servants, neighbors and colleagues. Exploring three arenas of conflict and solidarity?the home, the workplace, and the street?Arlette Farge offers the reader an intimate social history, bringing long-dead citizens and vanished social groups back to life with sensitivity and perception.Fragile Lives reconstructs the rhythms of this population's daily existence, the way they met, formed relationships and broke them off, conducted their affairs in the community, and raised their young. Farge follows them into the factory and describes the ways they organized to improve their working conditions, and how they were controlled by the authorities. She shows how these Parisians behaved in the context of collective events, from festive street spectacles to repressive displays of power by the police. As the author examines interwoven lives as revealed in judicial records, we come to know and understand the criminals and the underworld of the time; the situation of women as lovers, wives, or prostitutes; anxieties about food and drink, and the rules of conduct in a ?fragile? society. Elegantly written and skillfully translated, Fragile Lives is a book for the curious general reader and for those interested in social and cultural history.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. In the spring of 1750 a two-day series of riots erupted in Paris when the populace discovered that police were sweeping children off the streets in an overzealous attempt to control vagrancy. Arlette Farge and Jacques Revel use this bizarre incident and its colorful cast of actors to view broader issues such as the power of rumor, mob psychology, the exercise of authority, and the maintenance of peace in Paris under the ancien régime.…
