Summary:
A collection of essays focusing on the arisanal presence and the
artisanal experience in Europe between the beginning of the early
modern period and the end of the 19th century. The works cover a
broad topic area, from the masters who served the most demanding of
aristocratic clients to the journeymen who travelled round Central
Europe in search of work and opportunities, from ritual
representations of the social order to the fate of artisans and their
guilds in a major port city during the French Revolution. Also
explored are artisans' political activities and the presence and
difficulties of women artisans.
