Overview: The articles in this volume provide an overview of the issues and complexities that informed marriage in the premodern West. They provide a series of interdisciplinary and multicultural analyses of an institution that was fundamental across societies and cultures, but manifested in diverse practices and beliefs. Focusing, in particular, on the Italian peninsula, the articles move outward to include the distant worlds of England and Scotland. Studies of endogamy and exogamy reveal how complex marriage strategies functioned, often in contrast to their intended goals. The articles move from the highest reaches of society, royalty and papacy, to burghers and town dwellers. The richness of sources for the premodern world is explored including legal records, letters, paintings, and literature. Together the articles provide a window onto marriage as a social institution and as a lived experience, at once profoundly other yet curiously familiar.Contents:Jacqueline Murray, “Introduction: Marriage in Times of Change”Part One: Women, Men, And MarriageElena Crislyn Woodacre, “The Queen’s Marriage: Matrimonial Politics in Premodern Europe”Jennifer Mara DeSilva, “‘Personal Rituals’: The Office of Ceremonies and Papal Weddings, 1483-1521”Sally Hickson, “The Compromise Bride: The Marriage of Federico II Gonzaga and Margherita Paleologa of Monferrato”Elena Brizio, “‘Since she was determined to have him for her husband’: A Sienese Woman Who Chose for Herself”Jamie Smith, “Keeping it Together: Women, Marriage, and the Family in Late Fourteenth-Century Genoa”Shennan Hutton, “Mixed Marriages: Family Strategies Across the Noble-Burgher and Rural-Urban Divides”Katalin Prajda, “Florentine Marriage Ties and Business Networks in the Kingdom of Hungary during the Reign of Sigismund of Luxemburg”Ersie Burke, “Our Daughters and Our Future: Elite Greco-Venetian Marriages, 1520-1610”P.
