Abstract:
A backward corner of Europe in 1600, Ireland was transformed during the following centuries. This was most evident in the rise of its cities, notably Dublin and Cork. The book explores ten urban centers and their patterns of physical, social, and cultural evolution, relating this to the legacies of a violent past, and it reflects on their subsequent partial eclipse. Beautifully illustrated, the book reveals how the country's cities were distinctive and — through the Irish diaspora — influential beyond Ireland's shores.

Abstract:
Abstract The Oxford Handbook of Medieval Central Europe summarizes the political, social, and cultural medieval history of Central Europe (c. ad 800–1600), a region long considered a “forgotten” area of the European past. The twenty-four cutting-edge chapters present up-to-date research about the region’s core medieval kingdoms—Hungary, Poland, and Bohemia—and also their dynamic interactions with neighboring areas. From the Baltic to the Adriatic, the Handbook includes reflections on modern conceptions and uses of the region’s shared medieval traditions. The volume’s thematic organization reveals rarely compared knowledge about the region’s medieval resources, its people and structures of power, social life and economy, religion and culture, and the images of its past.

Guran, Petre. Slavonic Historical Writing in South-Eastern Europe, 1200–1600. Oxford University Press, 2018. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780199236428.003.0017.

Abstract:
This chapter considers the period from 1200 to 1600 because social and political realities of Southeastern Europe delineate such a delayed chronology. The latter term, beginning in the seventeenth century, marks the end of those medieval societies who used Slavonic for their cultural expression. The other main reason for this chronology is the fact that most of the literary production of ninth- and tenth-century Bulgaria is known through Russian literary activity. The chapter begins with the birth of new states using Slavonic as a cultural language on the territory of Byzantium at the end of the twelfth century. The chronological closing term of this study is marked by the two Romanian principalities, Wallachia and Moldavia, where court culture continued to use a medieval Slavonic dialect up to the beginning of the seventeenth century.

Abstract:
The book offers the first overview of Britain’s history of corruption in office in the pre-modern era, 1600–1850. As such, it is intended to appeal to historians but also to political and social scientists, whose work is extensively cited in an expansive and evaluative bibliography. Another distinctive feature of the book is the interaction of the domestic and imperial stories of corruption in office—a key argument is that these were intertwined and related. Linking corruption in office to the domestic and imperial state has not been attempted before, and the book makes extensive use of material relating to the East India Company as well as other colonial officials in the Atlantic world and elsewhere in Britain’s emerging empire. Both ‘corruption’ and ‘office’ were evolving concepts during the period 1600–1850 and underwent very significant but protracted change which the book charts and seeks to explain. To do so, the book makes innovative use of the concept of trust, which helped to shape office in ways that underlined principles of selflessness, disinterestedness, integrity, and accountability of officials. The reader’s report suggested that ‘no historian of this long period can afford to ignore the book, and it will certainly appeal to a large readership not only among historians of Britain and its empire but among political scientists more generally’. There is a brief concluding section highlighting policy implications.

Abstract:
This essay provides a global overview of prostitution from the early modern period to the present. Although the distinction between “premodern” and “modern” prostitution is not necessarily sharp, the profound political, military, and socioeconomic changes from roughly 1600 onward had an important impact on the sale of sex. Worldwide, the practice of prostitution and societal reactions to it were influenced by processes of colonization, industrialization, urbanization, the rise of nation-states, military modernization, nationalism, and war, as well as revolutions in politics, agriculture, transport, and communication. A long historical and broad geographical perspective reveals the continuities and discontinuities in the way commercial sex was practiced, perceived, and policed. This essay paper approaches prostitution from a double (top-down and bottom-up) perspective that integrates criminology and labor theory, presenting the views of authorities, anti-vice campaigners, and society at large while situating prostitution as an integral part of labor history.

Loiacono, Gabriel J. How Welfare Worked in the Early United States. Oxford University Press, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1093/oso/9780197515433.001.0001.

Abstract:
What was American welfare like in George Washington’s day? It was expensive, extensive, and run by local governments. Known as “poor relief,” it included much of what we would now call welfare and social work. Unlike other aspects of government, poor relief remained the same, in structure, between the establishment of British colonies in the 1600s and the New Deal of the 1930s. How Welfare Worked in the Early United States: Five Microhistories tells the story of poor relief through the lives of five people: a long-serving overseer of the poor, a Continental Army veteran who was repeatedly banished from town, a nurse who was paid by the government to care for the poor, an unwed mother who cared for the elderly and struggled to remain with her daughter, and a young paralyzed man trying to be a Christian missionary inside a poorhouse. Of Native, African, and English descent, these five Rhode Islanders’ life stories show how poor relief actually worked. For them and for millions, all over the United States, poor relief was both generous and controlling, local and yet largely uniform around the nation. Two centuries ago, Americans paid for—and relied on—an astonishing government system that provided food, housing, and medical care to those in need, while also shaping American families and where they could live. Students of history and of today’s social provision have much to learn about how welfare worked in the early United States.

van Berkel, Klaas, Albert Clement, and Arjan van Dixhoorn, eds. Knowledge and Culture in the Early Dutch Republic. Amsterdam University Press, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1017/9789048551477.

Full text
Abstract:
The Dutch Republic around 1600 was a laboratory of the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century. Here conditions were favourable for the development of new ways of knowing nature and the natural philosopher Isaac Beeckman, who was born in Middelburg in 1588, was a seminal figure in this context. He laid the groundwork for the strictly mechanical philosophy that is at the heart of the new science. Descartes and others could build on what they learned, directly or indirectly, from Beeckman. As previous studies have mainly dealt with the scientific content of Beeckman's thinking, this volume also explores the wider social, scientific and cultural context of his work. Beeckman was both a craftsman and a scholar and fruitfully combined artisanal ways of knowing with international scholarly traditions. Beeckman's extensive private notebook offers a unique perspective on the cultures of knowledge that emerged in this crucial period in intellectual history.

Abstract:
This groundbreaking, five-volume series offers a fully illustrated history of Egypt and Western Asia (the Levant, Anatolia, Mesopotamia, and Iran), from the emergence of complex states to the conquest of Alexander the Great. Written by leading scholars, whose expertise brings to life the people, places, and times of the remote past, the volumes focus firmly on the political and social histories of states and communities. Individual chapters present the key textual and material sources underpinning historical reconstruction, paying particular attention to recent archaeological finds and how they impact our understanding. The third volume covers the period from 1600 to 1100 BC or in archaeological terms, the Late Bronze Age. Twelve chapters survey the history of the Near East “From the Hyksos to the late second millennium BC” and discuss the Hyksos state of Lower Egypt, Upper Egypt, and the Nubian kingdom of Kerma prior to the unification marking the creation of the New Kingdom, the super power of the period; the imperial powers of the Hittites in Central Anatolia and of Mittani in Upper Mesopotamia, which came to be replaced by the rising star of Assyria; the kingdoms of Kassite Babylonia and of Elamite Iran as well as the Mycenaean world centered on the Aegean. Topics include state formation, consolidation and disintegration, the role of political ideologies, social hierarchies and religious practices, modes of governance and administration, and the conflicts, diplomatic efforts, and trade and knowledge networks that connected states and communities between the Sahara, the Caucasus, and Central Asia.
