In Italy, the custom still survives for a certain type of farmstead in south Tyrol (geschlossener Hof / maso chuso), in the name of the constitutional principle of regional autonomy, even though it contravenes the principles of equality between men and women and between siblings, also established by the Constitution. Only 2001 were local laws passed which did away with discrimination against women in the inheritance of such farmsteads.64

Agnatic kinship (i.e. relations along the paternal line) established networks of social cohesion and solidarity that were expressed through their form of accommodation.51 Interestingly, one scholar has suggested that kinship networks were particularly important in societies characterized by partible inheritance and transmission of land to all or many children, while in those characterized by impartible inheritance and transmission of the farm to a privileged heir the house and coresidence played a central role.

In these areas during the second half of the seventeenth century, between 80 and 90 per cent of the poorest householders whose estates were valued on their deaths at between 10 and 50 pounds101 owned a bed with a frame and they all had at least one mattress to lay on the ground, as had been common in the sixteenth century and continued to be common amongst emigrants to America (Chesapeake). The latter had, it is true, acquired greater freedom and availability of land and food by crossing the ocean,102 but they often lived in extremely straitened circumstances as far as their material conditions were concerned.

It is significant that the space enclosed by the curtains was called a ‘room’ in Tuscany.198

It seems reasonable to suppose that the sense of protection, warmth and comfort derived not only from the fact that it was ‘closed’, but also from the presence of mattresses, blankets and other bedclothes, which were as varied at the structure of the bed, given that they ranged from straw alone and miserable straw mattresses to an abundance of mattresses and expensive bedspreads.

It was during the reign of Louis XIV that we start to see the first signs in France of the tendency amongst the wealthier sections of society towards a greater specialization of rooms, and this trend was to become more firmly established in the second half of the eighteenth century, as can be demonstrated by the chronology of the spread of such terms as ‘bedroom’, ‘dining room’ and ‘salon’ (the fashion for salons had originated in Italy).274

According to the learned authors of the Italian Vocabolario degli Accademici della Crusca, a corridoio (‘corridor’) was a ‘passageway over buildings for going from one part to another, called by some in Latin, pergula’,298 a definition that referred to an idea of a corridor that was not only different to the current one but also not very useful. It appears from what Maddalena said that the term ‘corridor’ indicated a passage that led from the outside door or the main room of the building to the internal courtyard, which was often to be found in urban architecture.299

One historian has calculated how women divided their time, using the information contained in diaries and other similar sources. It is, of course, only a rough indication given that women did not do exactly the same things, depending on whether they lived in the city or the countryside, whether they were rich or poor, whether they were unmarried, married or widows, and whether they were young or old.

Several studies have demonstrated how changes that date back to the seventeenth century (the growth of the urban economy, the spread of fashions that blurred social distinctions, etc.) mean that the idea we have of clothing under the Ancien Régime (typified by inertia, immobility, a rigid correlation between dress and social position, a desire to control the situation through laws on luxury garments and other regulations concerning dress) is not wholly applicable.

In England, on the other hand, the diaries of a middle-class woman like Elizabeth Shackleton of Alkincoats (1726–81) demonstrate that she dealt with the shopping, and it has been argued that her writings provide ‘powerful evidence to support the widespread historical assumption that outside the households of peers and plutocrats the daily management of consumption fell to the mistress and with it control of routine decision-making’.

p. 221, l. 9

In spite of the introduction of the age of majority, which strictly speaking was supposed to put adult unmarried women on a par with men, family membership remained a central feature in defining social identity for women and minors, just as it did for servants.

Family relationships must have been affected by the end of the ‘age of the plague’ in the second half of the seventeenth century, which since the Black Death of 1348 had meant that recurrent epidemics had claimed the lives of countless victims and left in their wake shattered families, people without family, orphans, widows and widowers.

Only during the seventeenth century (as we saw earlier) did Tuscan magistrates start to appoint widowed mothers as guardians of their children, because they could not inherit from the children precisely as a result of this strictly patrilinear succession, and therefore had no financial interest in neglecting the children or even assisting their deaths with various degrees of actual intent.

For example, Shammas 1989; Vries 1993, especially pp. 95, 99 and 107, who suggests the term ‘consumer revolution’ should be dispensed with; Styles 1993, pp. 535–42; Fairchilds 1993b, note 4, p. 852; Miller 1995, p. 167; Levi 1996, pp. 197–8. Growth was not restricted solely to England. According to Goldthwaite 1987a, p. 16, ‘modern consumer society, with its insatiable consumption setting the pace for the production of more objects and changes in style, had its first stirrings, if not its birth, in the habits of spending that possessed the Italians in the Renaissance’ (see also by the same author 1987b and 1993 [Ital. trans. 1995]). Other historians, such as Porter 1993, continue to use the interpretative key of English eighteenth-century origins to the consumer revolution, while admitting that the theory is open to debate (p. 65). The use of concepts that have not been rigorously defined has compounded the difficulties in establishing a universally shared chronology, according to Shammas 1989 and Styles 1993. On the question of chronology, see also Stearns 1997 and the interesting observations by Clunas 1999. There has however been much lively and scholarly investigation into the history of consumption in recent years. Apart from the works already referred to, recent publications include Berg and Clifford (eds) 1999.

Aristotle and the author of the treatise on economics attributed to him perceived the house (in Greek oikos, and ‘economics’ derives from oikonomia, which means ‘house law’ or the science of home management) as the natural unit in social organization. Relations between members of a domestic community reflected those that were typical of a state: a husband’s power over his wife was ‘aristocratic’, his power over his children was ‘monarchical’ and his power over his slaves was ‘despotic or tyrannical’. It is not possible to examine this argument further here, but for further analysis, see Brunner 1950; Schwab 1979; Sabean 1990, pp. 91–3. The revival of Aristotelianism also played an important role in France and Italy in creating the image of the home and the family as a clearly identifiable and possibly self-sufficient hierarchical unit. On the situation in Italy, see Frigo 1985; Casali 1979 and 1982 and the critical considerations of Ambrosoli 1987; on the situation in France, see Francia Schwab 1979, pp. 268–9.

For the definitions of ‘hall’ and ‘parlour’, see Barley 1985; Brown 1986; Watkin 1986 (Ital. trans. 1990), p 250. In a previous age, ‘halls’ had been the main room in a house, where people ate, drank and entertained. As time went on its role was diminished to that of an entrance room or passageway, and the role of reception room was taken over by the ‘parlour’. On this point, see also para. 16 of this chapter.
