Abstract

With her satire on Anglo-Irish landlords in Castle Rackrent (1800), Maria Edgeworth pioneered the regional novel and inspired Sir Walter Scott's Waverley (1814). Politically risky, stylistically innovative, and wonderfully entertaining, the novel changes the focus of conflict in Ireland from religion to class, and boldly predicts the rise of the Irish Catholic bourgeoisie.

Abstract

Les méthodes agricoles innovantes ont été introduites par un petit nombre de précurseurs. Quels sont ces hommes et ces femmes qui ont composé cette élite ? Quelles sont leurs motivations ? Ces questions ont fait l’objet d’un programme de recherche réalisé à l’université du Maine entre 2004 et 2008 au sein du Centre de recherches historiques de l’Ouest (CERHIO, UMR 6258). Il a bénéficié d’une large ouverture internationale grâce aux participations aux conférences de l’European Social Science History. L’aire géographique concernée couvre les pays où règne un cadre de pensée similaire : Europe occidentale et centrale, Amérique du Nord et centrale. Par le champ chronologique couvert, du XVIe au XXe siècle, l’ouvrage réussit à donner une définition dynamique des élites impliquées dans le progrès. Les quatorze études présentées ici montrent que la composition de ces élites s’est peu à peu élargie, sous l’effet de nouvelles conceptions. La bonne gestion du domaine était un enjeu personnel pour le propriétaire, elle est ensuite devenue un enjeu collectif par une volonté de diffusion universelle des nouvelles techniques. Les études s’interrogent aussi sur le rôle si controversé des élites traditionnelles et sur le poids des forces économiques, l’influence du marché ; pour cela, elles essaient de décrypter les mythes et les prismes de l’historiographie du XXe siècle.

Abstract

'Household and Class Relations' offers an adept and multifaceted look at modern peasant family relation- ships. With the perspectives of an anthropologist and sociologist as well as those of an economist, Deere brings a fresh approach to the classic question: how do households continue to exist as units of production and reproduction in the face of their growing proletarianization and impoverishment? She draws upon rich life histories as well as archival and survey research to provide a regional history of the northern Peruvian highland province of Cajamarca since the turn of the century. Beginning with an examination of the hacienda system in the first four decades of this century, 'Household and Class Relations' goes on to probe the development of agrarian capitalism in the postwar period and the peasant economy of the 1970s. With this background firmly in place, 'Household and Class Relations' then distinguishes itself through attention to the interaction between class and gender. Deere argues that the subordination of women has had high costs for the well-being of rural households, exacerbating peasant poverty. Further, she shows how peasant households have adopted a strategy of participating in multiple income generating activities in order to survive. Breaking new ground, her study examines how gender relations interact with class relations to explain social differentiation among peasants. This is an exciting and stimulating study that will appeal to Latin Americanists, scholars of women's studies, and economists. Wide-ranging and incisive, it will garner attention from many quarters.

Abstract

The 1767 decision to divide Prince Edward Island among elite British grantees shaped Island history for more than a century. Lady Landlords of Prince Edward Island examines this history through the lives of four women who, due to the vagaries of family formation and inheritance, became Island landlords. As absentee owners of large estates, each of the four women faced challenges from those who wanted land redistributed in freehold lots to actual settlers. Their individual management strategies were determined in part by class standing and marital status, as well as individual eccentricities and prejudices. Drawing on family and official papers, Rusty Bittermann and Margaret McCallum provide engaging portraits of these women - orphaned heiress, prudent wife and property manager, countess estranged from her husband, independent spinster - as they negotiated relations of power and privilege in a domain dominated by men. Lady Landlords of Prince Edward Island is a compelling narrative that provides a unique perspective on landed society in England in the age of industrialization and reform, making an important contribution to trans-Atlantic, British social, legal, and women's histories.

Abstract

La société seigneuriale du bas moyen âge repose sur un ensemble de droits et d’obligations associant étroitement maîtres des lieux, sols et paysans. Les travaux et les jours y sont rythmés par l’exercice de pouvoirs et le poids de contraintes, mais aussi par des repères communs. La demeure seigneuriale, le château est de ceux-là.«Résidence fortifiée d’un puissant» (Michel Bur): un type architectural est ici étroitement lié à une position de commandement politique et militaire, mais aussi économique et social. Il procure une domination sur une vaste région peut-être, mais aussi et d’abord sur un domaine et ceux qui le peuplent. Ces «manants», «villains», ou tout simplement «hommes», ainsi que les dénomment les sources, s’acquittent en rapport avec le château de prestations de garde, de guet, de charroi, de travaux d’aménagement. Pareilles tâches s’intègrent dans l’ensemble plus vaste de tout ce qui fait le «régime seigneurial».Le seigneur est en outre, par la force des choses, gestionnaire. Des documents d’exploitation, tels comptes ou livres fonciers, peuvent aider l’historien à mieux cerner sa demeure et ses biens.

Abstract

The military nobility – 'signori di castelli', lords of castles – formed an important component of the society of Renaissance Italy, although they have often been disregarded by historians, or treated as an anomaly. In Barons and Castellans: The Military Nobility of Renaissance Italy , Christine Shaw provides the first comparative study of “lords of castles”, great and small, throughout Italy, examining their military and political significance, and how their roles changed during the Italian Wars. Her main focus is on their military resources and how they deployed them in public and private wars, in pursuit of their own interests and in the service of others, and on how their military weight affected their political standing and influence.
