Popular Politics in an Aristocratic Republic explores the different
aspects of political actions and experiences in late medieval and
early modern Venice. The book challenges the idea that the city of
Venice knew no political conflict and social contestation during
the medieval and early modern periods. By examining popular
politics in Venice as a range of acts of contestation and of
constructive popular political participation, it contributes to the
broader debate about premodern politics. The volume begins in the
late fourteenth century, when the demographical and social changes
resulting from the Black Death facilitated popular challenges to
the ruling class's power, and finishes in the late eighteenth
century, when the French invasion brought an end to the Venetian
Republic. It innovates Venetian studies by considering how ordinary
Venetians were involved in politics, and how popular politics and
contestation manifested themselves in this densely populated and
diverse city. Together the chapters propose a more nuanced notion
of political interactions and highlight the role that ordinary
people played in shaping the city's political configuration, as
well as how the authorities monitored and punished contestation.
Popular Politics in an Aristocratic Republic combines recent
historiographical approaches to classic themes from political,
social, economic, and religious Venetian history with contributions
on gender, migration, and urban space. The volume will be essential
reading for students of Venetian history, medieval and early modern
Italy and Europe, political and social history.
