Between the Middle Ages And Modernity : Individual And Community in the Early Modern World, Paperback by Parker, Charles H. (EDT); Bentley, Jerry H. (EDT), ISBN 0742553108, ISBN-13 9780742553101, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Throughout most of the 20th century, especially in American universities, the Renaissance and Reformation have been seen as the replacement of the corporate life of the medieval world with the individualism of the modern world. Here historians, mostly from American universities, argue that individual identity in the early modern period drew from traditional forms of corporate association, so that the contrast between the two has been overdrawn.

SynopsisThis groundbreaking book examines the complex relationships between individuals and communities during the profound transitions of the early modern period. Historians have traditionally identified the origins of a modern individualist spirit in the European Renaissance and Reformation. Yet since the 1960s, evolving scholarship has challenged this perspective by calling into question its basic assumptions about individualism, its exclusive focus on elite individuals, and its inherent Eurocentric bias. Arguing that individual identity drew from traditional forms of community, these essays by leading scholars convincingly show that individual and community created and recreated one another in the major structures, interactions, and transitions of early modern times. The authors contend that on the one hand, communities provided the stability that allowed for individual agency, even as they imposed new forms of discipline that confined individuals to more rigid moral and social norms. On the other hand, individuals established forms of association to advance their own economic, social, political, and religious agendas. Offering an important contribution to our understanding both of the early modern period and of its historiography, this volume will be an invaluable resource for scholars working in the fields of medieval, early modern, and modern history, and on the Renaissance and Reformation.Contributions by: Jerry H.
