The Darker Angels of Our Nature
Assiduous readers of the EHR might recall my long review article on recent work in early modern violence that focused on Steven Pinker’s landmark survey The Better Angels of Our Nature (2011), followed by a discussion of recent work by specialists of criminal history of the early modern era (ante, cxxviii [2013], pp. 367–400). My critique of his work complained of ‘page after page of wild exaggeration, hyperbole, junk statistics and reference to …

History from an Evolutionary Perspective
Violence
Richard Bessel discusses perceptions of violence in the modern western world and the modern perception that our own times are more violent than centuries past. The multitude of modern studies reflects the conviction that violence is inherently undesirable, a profound social evil that can be checked. He places the shift in attitudes to the Enlightenment era of the late eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, but it was not until after the Secon…
Italy 1636
This book on the operation of early modern armies methodically looks at the French and Savoyard invasion of Spanish Lombardy in 1636, from the recruitment of the soldiers, the care and feeding of the armies and their horses, the impact of the invasion on civilians, and the manner in which generals conducted their campaign in response to the information at their disposal. Step-by-step a chapter unfolds the long and stubborn battle of Tornavento, w…
Italy 1636
Italy 1636 uses the French and Savoyard invasion of Spanish Lombardy in 1636 to explore the operation of early modern armies through a neo-Darwinian lens, uncovering the universal features of human behaviour and psychology as they relate to violence and war.
‘The War Becomes Cruel’
Routine Infanticide in the West 1500–1800
Historians have assumed that early modern Europeans did not practice neo‐naticide similar to the great Asian civilizations, but sex‐ratio studies are only now entering the demographic literature. This article passes in review both published and unpublished research on sex ratios at baptism in Italy, France, England and colonial Acadia, together with juvenile sex ratios drawn from censuses in Germany, France and Italy. Both endemic and conjunctura…
The Hero of Italy
'The Hero of Italy' examines a salient episode in Italy's Thirty Years' War with Spain and France, whereby the young duke Odoardo Farnese of Parma embraced the French alliance, only to experience defeat and occupation after two tumultuous years (1635-1637)
Hero of Italy
The Duke of Parma's Great Adventure
Duke Odoardo resolved to join the war against Spain after the Duc de Rohan occupied the Valtellina and Marshal Créquy joined the duke of Savoy in Piedmont to commence hostilities. Parma's contingent marched across enemy territory to join the French in the siege of Valenza on the Po, a strategic but weak fortress connecting Spanish Milan to the Mediterranean. This chapter examines the events of the siege and the conduct of operations, particularly…
David Parrott, The Business of War
An Italian Aristocracy in Arms
When the Duke of Parma, Odoardo Farnese, summoned his noble subjects to join his army with a view to joining the French alliance against Spain in 1635, he was gratified by a turnout of astonishingly high proportions. Not nearly enough of them had personal experience of modern war, and so the prince appointed military nobles from much of northern Italy to fill the cadres, alongside the French officers whose contingents on loan from Louis XIII made…

The Decline of Violence in the West
Jacques de Savoie-Nemours
It is unusual for an American historian to publish his inaugural book in a French translation, but Matthew Vester's biography of the head of the junior, non-ruling branch of the house of Savoy takes as its subject a figure who will be unfamiliar to many Renaissance specialists. That said, the author's well-researched book, which reveals a mastery of the secondary literature coming out of the United States, Britain, France and Italy, contains more…

The Pursuit of Glory
Reviewing this survey by Tim Blanning of Europe from Portugal to Russia in 670 pages of fine print is a daunting task. The advertising blurbs on the front and back covers proclaim the work a masterpiece and promise the reader a jaw-dropping experience. There is little that the book's table of contents does not promise to explain, and it is impossible to do justice to the wealth of information contained here in a brief review. The reader should be…
The Facts of Life in Rural Counter-Reformation Tuscany
The English-language historiography of early modern sexual mores places great emphasis on the role of ideologies in shaping "gendered" behavior. Close analysis of relations between the sexes in a typical Tuscan village, however, reveals the importance of human evolutionary universals in sexual relations. The strategic decisions made by males and females in Montefollonico about marriage and fidelity suggest that ideology and social custom were ult…

Justice in the Age of Lordship
Expectations of justice in a Tuscan fief were not much different from those of today, because they were deeply rooted in universal emotions governing exchange and rec iprocity.Where villagers had easy access to a magistrate (both civil and criminal), they availed themselves of the tribunal whose mechanisms they understood and accepted. The relative efficiency of the feudal tribunal encouraged villagers to go back to it, at least to settle those g…
Glorifying War in a Peaceful City
Urban elites across early modern Europe practised a variety of playful activities that extolled martial virtues. In Siena under the Medici grand dukes, nobles played at war for an urban audience, and celebrated those among them who had experienced the real thing. Tuscan cities staged mock-combat games of mazzoscudo, organized jousts and assembled cavalcades of mounted honour-guards whose regalia evoked chivalric themes. These festivities contrast…

Wills, Inheritance and the Moral Order in the 17Th-Century Agenais
Local custom regulating successoral practice is inadequate when confronted with the testaments themselves. With a sample of 313 wills from the confessionally mixed community of Layrac-en-Brulhois, France, (1606–1707) the authors distinguish the different patterns of succession and link them to the social attitudes of which they are the instrument, underlining the basic coherence and unity of local practice across time and across confessional and …
Les rituels de l'agression en Aquitaine au XVIIesiècle
L'interaction sociale dans la société traditionnelle européenne, comme dans toute société, s'exprime à travers un code implicitement connu des participants. Si l'on accepte l'idée d'Erving Goffman que ces rapports sociaux avec l'engagement des moi de chacun, sont potentiellement dangereux, l'adhésion à un code ou à un rituel, constitue un respect de l'ordre social et protège la dignité des personnes. Le rituel devient alors l'instrument permettan…
Piété populaire et intervention des moines dans les miracles et les sanctuaires miraculeux en Agenais-Condomois au XVIIe siècle
L'étude des sanctuaires miraculeux aquitains du XVIIe siècle, comme Notre-Dame de Bon-Encontre près d'Agen, révèle que les moines chargés d'administrer les sanctuaires et de contrôler les miracles partageaient la même sensibilité religieuse que les pèlerins. Ceux-ci appartenaient à toutes les couches de la population urbaine et rurale. Il n'y a donc pas lieu d'opposer, à cette époque, la piété « populaire » et la religion « officielle » de l'Égli…
