Kuehn's use \u003cbr\u003eof legal sources along with letters, diaries, and \u003cbr\u003econtemporary accounts allows him to present a compelling \u003cbr\u003eimage of the social processes that affected the shape and \u003cbr\u003efunction of the law. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe numerous law courts of Italian city-states \u003cbr\u003econstantly devised and revised statutes. Kuehn traces the \u003cbr\u003epermutations of these laws, then examines their use by \u003cbr\u003eFlorentines to arbitrate conflict and regulate social \u003cbr\u003ebehavior regarding such issues as kinship, marriage, \u003cbr\u003ebusiness, inheritance, illlegitimacy, and gender. Ranging \u003cbr\u003efrom one man's embittered denunciation of his father to \u003cbr\u003eanother's reaction to his kinsmen's rejection of him as \u003cbr\u003eillegitimate, \u003ci\u003eLaw, Family, and Women\u003c\/i\u003e provides \u003cbr\u003efascinating evidence of the tensions riddling family life in \u003cbr\u003eRenaissance Florence. Kuehn shows how these same tensions, \u003cbr\u003eoften articulated in and through the law, affected women. He \u003cbr\u003eexamines the role of the mundualdus--a male legal guardian \u003cbr\u003efor women--in Florence, the control of fathers over their \u003cbr\u003emarried daughters, and issues of inheritance by and through \u003cbr\u003ewomen. An ambitious attempt to reformulate the agenda of \u003cbr\u003eRenaissance social history, Kuehn's work will be of value to \u003cbr\u003eboth legal anthropologists and social historians. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThomas Kuehn is professor of history at Clemson \u003cbr\u003eUniversity.\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 430\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.94 x 9.09 x 6.17 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIllustrated:\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e June 15, 1994\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45729519075525,"sku":"9780226457642","price":76.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0757\/6718\/5605\/files\/VexMJPXdZo9780226457642.webp?v=1781213704","url":"https:\/\/selloorium.com\/products\/law-family-and-women-toward-a-legal-anthropology-of-renaissance-italy-paperback","provider":"Selloorium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
