Brill has published “Negotiations
of Gender and Property through Legal Regimes (14th-19th Century) - Stipulating,
Litigating, Mediating”.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This volume explores familial
wealth arrangements and gendered property from the fourteenth to the nineteenth
centuries in Italian, German and Austrian territories (including Florence,
Trento, Tyrol, and Vienna), Nordic countries, Western Pyrenees, and England.
Family property as capital in the form of houses, land, movables, financial
assets, and rights were of great importance in the past. Arrangements of such
property were characterised by a high degree of negotiating competence but
likewise they entailed competition between the parties involved and were highly
conflict prone. Fifteen contributors from Austria, Finland, France, Germany,
Italy, and the UK address different marital property regimes in relation to the
practices and legal regulations of inheritance patterns with consideration to
inter-familial negotiation, conflict, and resolution.
