Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Only one out of ten early modern Europeans lived in cities. Yet cities were crucial nodes, joining together producers and consumers, rulers and ruled, and believers in diverse faiths and futures. They also generated an enormous amount of writing, much of which focused on civic life itself. But despite its obvious importance, historians have paid surprisingly little attention to urban discourse; its forms, themes, emphases and silences all invite further study. This book explores three dimensions of early modern citizens writing about their cities: the diverse social backgrounds of the men and women who contributed to urban discourse; their notions of what made for a beautiful city; and their use of dialogue as a literary vehicle particularly apt for expressing city life and culture. Amelang concludes that early modern urban discourse increasingly moves from oral discussion to take the form of writing. And while the dominant tone of those who wrote about cities continued to be one of celebration and glorification, over time a more detached and less judgmental mode developed. More and more they came to see their fundamental task as presenting a description that was objective. This book explores three dimensions of early modern citizens writing about their cities: the diverse social backgrounds of the men and women who contributed to urban discourse; their notions of what made for a beautiful city; and their use of dialogue as a literary vehicle particularly apt for expressing city life and culture.

Condizione: Nuevo. El 26 de marzo de 1626, el joven zurrador de pieles barcelonés Miquel Parets escribió su primera anotación de lo que llegaría a ser, con el tiempo, una mezcla de crónica urbana y diario personal. Con este gesto el artesano se convirtió en autor y, lo que es más, autor de su propia vida. Pero Parets era sólo uno entre centenares, tal vez miles de artesanos, campesinos y trabajadores que en los primeros siglos de la modernidad escribieron memorias, crónicas, libros de familia, diarios y autobiografías espirituales y profanas. Este libro reconstruye los motivos y las esperanzas que impulsaron los escritos personales de artesanos como Parets. Es una primera exploración de una temática prometedora pero compleja en el terreno de la historia social y cultural. En el difícil reto de la autobiografía popular destacó como símbolo la figura singularmente enigmática de Icaro. El hijo de Dédalo que murió por volar demasiado cerca del sol representaba para la cultura moderna las dos caras del orgullo y la ambición: el pecado de la arrogancia y la desobediencia hacia la autoridad, y el cada vez más admirado atrevimiento a subir a "cosas altas", desafiando las jerarquías y prohibiciones de una sociedad iIiusta. Esta es una historia de la escritura de los hombres y las mujeres "desde abajo", y de la autobiografía antes de consagrarse como la escritura privilegiada del individuo moderno aislado de la sociedad.James S. Amelang (n. 1952) es Profesor de Historia Moderna en la Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Es autor de varios estudios de historia social y cultural de la Edad Moderna, entre ellos La formación de una clase dirigente: Barcelona, 1490-1714 (Barcelona, 1986) y las ediciones en inglés y en catalán (con Xavier Torres) del Dietario de un año de peste: Barcelona, 1651 de Miquel Parets (Vic, 1989). Actualmente investiga sobre el discurso urbano en la Europa Moderna y está preparando The Oxford History of Early Modern Spain.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The distinct religious culture of early modern Spain -- characterized by religious unity at a time when fierce civil wars between Catholics and Protestants fractured northern Europe -- is further understood through examining the expulsion of the Jews and suspected Muslims. While these two groups had previously lived peaceably, if sometimes uneasily, with their Christian neighbors throughout much of the medieval era, the expulsions brought a new intensity to Spanish Christian perceptions of both the moriscos (converts from Islam) and the judeoconversos (converts from Judaism). In Parallel Histories, James S. Amelang reconstructs the compelling struggle of converts to coexist with a Christian majority that suspected them of secretly adhering to their ancestral faiths and destroying national religious unity in the process.Discussing first Muslims and then Jews in turn, Amelang explores not only the expulsions themselves but also religious beliefs and practices, social and professional characteristics, the construction of collective and individual identities, cultural creativity, and, finally, the difficulties of maintaining orthodox rites and tenets under conditions of persecution. Despite the oppression these two groups experienced, the descendants of the judeoconversos would ultimately be assimilated into the mainstream, unlike their morisco counterparts, who were exiled in 1609.Amelang masterfully presents a complex narrative that not only gives voice to religious minorities in early modern Spain but also focuses on one of the greatest divergences in the history of European Christianity.…
