This innovative collection brings together a wide range of written and visual sources, the vast majority of them directly from European archives and printed for the first time in any language, which provide evidence about life in Europe during the late Middle Ages, Renaissance, and early modern era. The book is organized around two main principles: stages of life and gender, and is divided into eight chapters: childhood, youth and sexuality, courtship and weddings, married life, economic life, RELIGION, networks and communities, and widowhood and old age. The diverse sources include materials from TWENTY different states, including Portugal, Iceland, Russia, Denmark, SERBIA, and the Ottoman Empire, along with Italy, Germany, Spain, France, and England.
