In the half millennium of their existence, guilds in the Low
Countries played a highly significant role in shaping the societies
of which they were a part. One key aspect that has been identified
in recent historical research to explain the survival of the guilds
for such a long time is the guilds' continued adaptability to
changing circumstances. This idea of flexibility is the point of
departure for the essays in this volume, which sheds new light on
the corporate system and identifies its various features and
regional variances. The contributors explore the interrelations
between economic organisations and political power in late medieval
and early modern towns, and address issues of gender, religion and
social welfare in the context of the guilds. This cohesive and
focussed volume will provide a stimulus for renewed interest and
further research in this area. It will appeal to scholars and
students with an interest in early modern economic, social and
cultural history in particular, but will also be valuable to those
researching into political, religious and gender history.
