The Gift in Sixteenth-Century France
ISBN: 9780199242887 / Angielski / Twarda / 2000 / 312 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. In this gem of a book, Natalie Zemon Davis explores the role of gifts in Renaissance France. From the King's bounty to the beggar's alms, from the lavish feasting and display of civic dignitaries to the humble tokens exchanged by peasant bride and groom, the giving and receiving of gifts - then, as now - held tremendous significance.
Full of vignettes which illuminate life and belief in the sixteenth century, The Gift examines how the giving of presents functioned at all levels of society. As they do today, people evaluated gifts all the time - their own gifts and those of others - deciding... In this gem of a book, Natalie Zemon Davis explores the role of gifts in Renaissance France.

History of Women in the West, Volume III: Renaissance and the Enlightenment Paradoxes (Revised)
ISBN: 9780674403673 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 608 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Volume III of A History of Women draws a richly detailed picture of women in early modern Europe, considering them in a context of work, marriage, and family. 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 a debate--sometimes humorous, sometimes acrimonious--conducted in every field: letters, arts, philosophy, the sciences, and medicine. Against oppressive experience, confining laws, and repetitious claims about female "nature," women took initiative by...

Women on the Margins: Three Seventeenth-Century Lives
ISBN: 9780674955219 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 400 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 8-10 dni roboczych. As she did with Martin Guerre, Natalie Zemon Davis here retrieves individual lives from historical obscurity to give us a window onto the early modern world. As women living in the seventeenth century, Glikl bas Judah Leib, Marie de l'Incarnation, and Maria Sibylla Merian, equally remarkable though very different, were not queens or noblewomen, their every move publicly noted. Rather, they were living "on the margins" in seventeenth-century Europe, North America, and South America. Yet these women--one Jewish, one Catholic, one Protestant--left behind memoirs and writings that make for a...

Society and Culture in Early Modern France: Eight Essays by Natalie Zemon Davis
ISBN: 9780804709729 / Angielski / Miękka / 1975 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych. These essays, three of them previously unpublished, explore the competing claims of innovation and tradition among the lower orders in sixteenth-century France. The result is a wide-ranging view of the lives and values of men and women (artisans, tradesmen, the poor) who, because they left little or nothing in writing, have hitherto had little attention from scholars. The first three essays consider the social, vocational, and sexual context of the Protestant Reformation, its consequences for urban women, and the new attitudes toward poverty shared by Catholic humanists and Protestants alike...

Fiction in the Archives: Pardon Tales and Their Tellers in Sixteenth-Century France
ISBN: 9780804717991 / Angielski / Miękka / 1990 / 236 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. To receive a royal pardon in sixteenth-century France for certain kinds of homicide--unpremeditated, unintended, in self-defense, or otherwise excusable--a supplicant had to tell the king a story. These stories took the form of letters of remission, documents narrated to royal notaries by admitted offenders who, in effect, stated their case for pardon to the king. Thousands of such stories are found in French archives, providing precious evidence of the narrative skills and interpretive schemes of peasants and artisans as well as the well-born. This book, by one of the most acclaimed...

Changing Identities in Early Modern France
ISBN: 9780822319139 / Angielski / Miękka / 1997 / 424 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. "Changing Identities in Early Modern France" offers new interpretations of what it meant to be French during a period of profound transition, from the outbreak of the Hundred Years War to the consolidation of the Bourbon monarchy in the seventeenth century. As medieval notions were gradually replaced by new definitions of the state, society, and family, dynastic struggles and religious wars raised questions about loyalty and identity and destabilized the meaning of "Frenchness."
After examining the interplay between competing ideologies and public institutions, from the monarchy to the... "Changing Identities in Early Modern France" offers new interpretations of what it meant to be French during a period of profound transition, from the...

Unknowingly, Nasya lives in another realm with her mother for their protection against the Dark. Nasya was not a part of the written prophecy, therefore her future is unknown...and the unknown is feared by many. Nasya encounters her long-lost father, but it's not a happy reunion. Her journey started by innocently crawling through a hole in the wall that lead outside of her very private, very protected village, into a land she'd only ever heard of. The stories of magic, the Fae, and other vile creatures were not fables as she thought them to be; they were very real, and very unnerving. Nasya...
