This book illuminates the connections and interaction among women and between women and men during the medieval period. To do this, Kathryn L. Reyerson focuses specifically on the experiences of Agnes de Bossones, widow of a changer of the mercantile elite of Montpellier. Agnes was a real estate mogul and a patron of philanthropic institutions that permitted lower strata women to survive and thrive in a mature urban economy of the period before 1350. Notably, Montpellier was a large urban center in southern France. Linkages stretched horizontally and vertically in this robust urban environment, mitigating the restrictions of patriarchy and the constraints of gender. Using the story of Agnes de Bossones as a vehicle to larger discussions about gender, this book highlights the undeniable impact that networks had on women’s mobility and navigation within a restrictive medieval society.

The first full length volume to approach the premodern Mediterranean from a fully interdisciplinary perspective, this collection defines the Mediterranean as a coherent region with distinct patterns of social, political, and cultural exchange. The essays explore the production, modification, and circulation of identities based on religion, ethnicity, profession, gender, and status as free or slave within three distinctive Mediterranean geographies: islands, entrepôts and empires. Individual essays explore such topics as interreligious conflict and accommodation; immigration and diaspora; polylingualism; classical imitation and canon formation; traffic in sacred objects; Mediterranean slavery; and the dream of a reintegrated Roman empire. Integrating environmental, social, political, religious, literary, artistic, and linguistic concerns, this collection offers a new model for approaching a distinct geographical region as a unique site of cultural and social exchange.--

Cet ouvrage étudie les rapports entre la solitude et l'expression des solidarités familiales à la fin du Moyen Âge, dans le cadre urbain de Montpellier. La solitude en milieu urbain est un champ de recherche contemporain, porté en particulier par la sociologie. Les sociétés urbaines médiévales comptaient aussi leur lot de solitaires : enfants orphelins et abandonnés, immigrants à la recherche d'une vie meilleure, veufs et veuves, personnes âgées isolées. Le contexte de la deuxième moitié du XIVe siècle, avec ses épidémies de peste récurrentes et les ravages causés par la guerre de Cent Ans aggrave le phénomène. Étudiée dans le cadre de la ville de Montpellier, des années 1250 à la fin du XVe siècle, à partir d'archives consulaires, fiscales et testamentaires, la solitude se révèle comme un phénomène fréquent : nombreuses sont les personnes seules dans l'espace urbain. La solitude apparaît sous de multiples formes et se manifeste tout au long du cours de la vie des individus, entrecoupant les cycles de développement familiaux. Or, entre la vie en solitaire et l'isolement social existe toute une palette de situations personnelles, dont on ne peut saisir la complexité que par l'étude des solidarités, recherchées par les personnes seules ou spontanément offertes par des parents, des amis, qui viennent pallier la solitude.--
