James Casey offers an innovative study of prestige, power and the
role of the family in a Mediterranean city during the early modern
period. He focuses on the structure and values of the ruling class
of Granada, where a new elite consolidated its authority. The study
suggests that their power was linked to the pursuit of honour,
which demanded participation in the politics of the commonwealth
and depended greatly on the network of personal relations which
they were able to build with kinsmen, clients and patrons. It
explores the way in which this system contributed to the relative
tranquillity of the community during a turbulent time of religious
and political change, that of the rise of absolutism and of the
Counter Reformation. The book sheds fresh light on the nature of
the early modern family and will be essential reading for
historians of early modern Spain and Europe.
