In the 1700s, Jean-Jacques Rousseau celebrated the Alps as the
quintessence of the triumph of nature over the ""horrors"" of
civilization. Now available in English, History of the Alps,
1500-1900: Environment, Development, and Society provides a precise
history of one of the greatest mountain range systems in the world.
Jon Mathieu's work disproves a number of commonly held notions
about the Alps, positioning them as neither an inversion of lowland
society nor a world apart with respect to Europe. Mathieu's broad
historical portrait addresses both the economic and sociopolitical
- exploring the relationship between population levels,
development, and the Alpine environment, as well as the complex
links between agrarian structure, society, and the development of
modern civilization. More detailed analysis examines the
relationship between various agrarian structures and shifting
political configurations, several aspects of family history between
the late Middle Ages and the turn of the twentieth century, and
exploration of the Savoy, Grisons, and Carinthia regions.
