{"product_id":"defiled-trades-and-social-outcasts-kathy-stuart-9780521027212","title":"Defiled Trades and Social Outcasts: Honor and Ritual Pollution in Early Modern Germany","description":"This book presents a social and cultural history of \"dishonorable people\" (unehrliche Leute), an outcast group in early modern Germany. Executioners, skinners, grave-diggers, shepherds, barber-surgeons, millers, linen-weavers, sow-gelders, latrine-cleaners, and bailiffs were among the \"dishonorable\" by virtue of their trades. It shows the extent to which dishonor determined the life chances and self-identity of these people. Taking Augsburg as a prime example, it investigates how honorable estates interacted with dishonorable people, and shows how the pollution anxieties of early modern Germans structured social and political relations within honorable society.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Kathy Stuart\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0521027217\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780521027212\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Cambridge University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/02\/2006\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 300\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.97lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.67d","brand":"Kathy Stuart","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44054263988479,"sku":"9780521027212","price":63.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_52b39c1d-dad5-48a5-a3c9-a7bba31f7c56.jpg?v=1685028949","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/defiled-trades-and-social-outcasts-kathy-stuart-9780521027212","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
