Based on archival material from the cities of Genoa, Milan, Venice,
Florence, Rome, and Naples, as well as on published sources, such
as travel journals, and artistic representations, this volume
presents an original view of the culture of early modern Italy. The
book addresses particular themes - specifically those of perception
and communication - as well as serving to exemplify modes of
analysis in the currently developing field of historical
anthropology. In the first part of the book, Peter Burke examines
the stereotyped ways in which contemporaries perceived social
groups such as saints, beggars, and working women, and shows how
these stereotypes were used, consciously and unconsciously, both by
the authorities and by ordinary people.
