Synopsis of História da vida privada: Da Renascença ao Século das Luzes, Vol. 3

«História da vida privada: Da Renascença ao Século das Luzes, Vol. 3» is the historical essay by Roger Chartier, Philippe Ariès and Georges Duby, in paperback.

Analysis of private life from the Renaissance to the Age of Enlightenment: state power expands, community sociability declines, literacy and the spread of the book advance, and new forms of individual piety emerge with Protestantism and the Counter-Reformation. All this separates the public from the private and forges modern individualism.

Third volume of the collection «História da vida privada», directed by Philippe Ariès and Georges Duby; published by Companhia de Bolso in 2009, with 632 pages in Portuguese.

A work of interest both to the general public and to those specialised in the social and cultural history of the early modern period.
