  • Marginal and Obsolete? Rural Hospitals in Early Modern Europe

    Open AccessJulie MarfanyARTICLESocial History of Medicine2024

    Small local hospitals have been neglected by historians, and frequently assumed to have been marginal to their communities and largely obsolete by the eighteenth century. This paper questions such assumptions via a case study of Catalonia. It provides the first comprehensive estimates for the number of hospitals over the course of the eighteenth century, and then examines a sample of surviving accounts and other documentation to analyse the exten…

  • Gender, life cycle, and family 'strategies' among the poor

    Open AccessMontserrat Carbonell‐esteller, Montserrat Carbonell i Esteller et al.ARTICLEThe Economic History Review2017Citada por: 1Referencias: 22

    Poor relief has received less attention from historians of southern Europe compared with northern Europe. This article seeks to challenge the frequent assumption that the strength of family ties in southern Europe mitigated the need for welfare provision. It provides new data for men and boys entering the Barcelona workhouse in the period 1780-1803, and compares these with data from an earlier study of women and girls who entered the same institu…

    Open AccessJulie MarfanyARTICLEThe Economic History Review2010Citada por: 1Referencias: 36

    The concept of proto-industrialization is considered by many historians to have outlived its usefulness. This article seeks to argue the contrary, using a case study from Catalonia, in southern Europe, which provides a rare example of early industrialization on the periphery of Europe. Using an in-depth study of an important proto-industrial community, Igualada, the article puts forward two key arguments. First, it shows how the proto-industriali…

  • Choices and constraints

    Open AccessJulie MarfanyARTICLEContinuity and Change2006Citada por: 3

    This article looks at marriage in Catalonia during the eighteenth and early nineteenth centuries, a period of rapid economic and social change, using a case study of a proto-industrial community. Differences in age at marriage are related to data on occupations, wealth and age rank in order to consider as many of the factors influencing marriage decisions as possible. Economic factors were one obvious constraint upon marriage, but another was the…
