Research in Progress

 

I am engaged in a long-term project on the social history of Marburg, Germany, from the middle of the seventeenth to the end of the eighteenth century.  The study will be a careful structural analysis of  an urban society over time and will then focus on three subjects:  (1) the mercantile, administrative, and educated elites that dominated the city;  (2) the endemic poverty in Marburg and the Upper Hessian region;  and (3) the relationship between the city, on one hand, and, on the other, its surrounding countryside, the University of Marburg, and the Hessian territorial state.
