Whilst much has been written about early modern urban history, the
majority of this work has focussed on Western Europe with
relatively little available in English on towns and cities in the
former communist East. However, in recent years urban scholars have
increasingly looked to a much more inclusive picture of Europe that
compares and contrasts development across the whole continent.
Dealing primarily with Bohemia, Hungary and the Polish-Lithuanian
Commonwealth, this book provides an insight into a number of key
issues concerning the economic, social and demographic trends in
early modern East-Central European urban history. Taking a
supra-national perspective, across a long time span, it examines
the effects of migration, Reformation, state building and economic
change on the transformation of medieval urban communities into
early modern societies. Drawing on a wealth of primary sources,
particularly the registers of new citizens kept by many towns and
cities, a fascinating picture of urban development and social
structure is reconstructed that not only tells us much about
East-Central Europe, but adds to our knowledge of the whole
continent.
