Abstract

In 1420, the island of Korčula on the Dalmatian coast (today in Croatia) came under the administration of Venice. Its exceptionally rich archives allow us to paint the "total" picture of a small society living on the edge of the Venetian maritime empire in the 15th century, facing Ragusa (Dubrovnik), the rival: how did this microcosm of peasants and Has shepherds, fishermen and seafarers traders, city patricians and countryside folk been transformed by its insertion in the economic and political space of the great Mediterranean power?In these three lectures given at the Collège de France in 2010, Oliver Jens Schmitt, professor at the University of Vienna, historian of the Balkans, crosses micro-history with the great. You can read the story of the loves of Dragačić, leader of the populares, and of Franuša, daughter of a patrician - a true political novel worthy of a Boccaccio, in which the Doge of Venice himself intervenes. We learn how the patrician families make a fortune in smuggling, vital for the inhabitants of an island in permanent need of wheat. Through the reports of the field guards and the port registers, we get into all the details of the island's daily life, with its stories of washerwomen and ship captains, sheep stolen from beaches and forests voluntarily set on fire. And we come to understand that between the all-powerful Venice, only represented by a governor who ignores the local language, and this small world of peasants and sailors himself deeply divided, it is a whole game of permanent negotiations that regulate the life of the island and its inhabitants.

Abstract

Based on memoirs and other records left by thirteen merchant families from the Veneto cities of Verona and Vincenza, Provincial Families of the Renaissance is an engrossing study of daily lives that have until now been overlooked by scholars. Grubb examines the attitudes and experiences of families undistinguished in their modest means and local ambitions from the majority of their compatriots, uncovering a detailed historical landscape rich in social obligations, commercial activities, and religious beliefs.

Abstract

Grubb's comprehensive analysis of his subjects' compelling, if inconspicuous, lives investigates every significant aspect of private experience during the Renaissance: marriage, birth, death, household relations, work, land, social status, and spirituality. Winner of the Society for Italian Historical Studies' Howard R. Marraro Prize Originally published in 1996. Historical writing on the Renaissance has usually focused on the social extremes that co-existed in the great metropolitan centers — on either elites or the underclass. As a result, the world of the middling families and provincial societies remains largely unexplored. Daily experiences in the lesser cities are, however, no less rich and revealing than those of Florence, Venice, and Milan. In addition, writes historian James Grubb, these experiences offer new perspectives from which to reassess familiar assumptions about domestic life in the fifteenth century. Based on memoirs and other records left by thirteen merchant families from the Veneto cities of Verona and Vincenza, Provincial Families of the Renaissance is an engrossing study of daily lives that have until now been overlooked by scholars. Grubb examines the attitudes and experiences of families undistinguished in their modest means and local ambitions from the majority of their compatriots, uncovering a detailed historical landscape rich in social obligations, commercial activities, and religious beliefs. Grubb's comprehensive analysis of his subjects' compelling, if inconspicuous, lives investigates every significant aspect of private experience during the Renaissance: marriage, birth, death, household relations, work, land, social status, and spirituality. In reconstructing provincial life in the Veneto, Grubb discovers in his subjects an independence of mind that mediated their reception of metropolitan ideologies far more than the historiography of the Renaissance might suggest. These "unremarkable" provincials were agents of their own destiny, influenced in equal measures by prevailing attitudes, local customs, and personal convictions. "James Grubb is exploring new terrain in this book. Distinguished by its clarity and eloquence, this is a superior work of historical writing and analysis that merits comparison with the best monographs on the social history of Renaissance Italy."—Gene Brucker, University of California at Berkeley
