  • Descrição: [...]she is able to chart the movement of the young over time: 70 per cent of labouring-class youths left home, for instance, and a surprising 40 per cent of sons aged 11 and 12 (p. 53). A crucial feature of early modern mentalities was that such beliefs were commonly held at both the popular and the elite level. [...]courts would admit evidence from bleeding corpses if there was little other evidence, and for most of this period attitudes towards clipping and counterfeiting coins (which were fundamentally ambivalent, and depended on local conditions) were similarly socially undi[ff]erentiated. Gaskill perceptively complicates the story, however, by stressing the variety and complexity of meanings available at any one time, noting that apparent opposites often coexisted as part of a common intellectual system (it was thought that both magic scratching the accused and the law could be used simultaneously to detect witches) and by arguing that the triumph of the new epistemology took place over several centuries, was not inevitable and was due to changing cultural and social dynamics rather than the inherent superiority of the new paradigm. [...]the increased trust in medical evidence was not necessarily because it was more relevant or more accurate, but because it was presented using detailed, formal terminology; doctors and surgeons said the sort of things expected of them (p. 273). Circulation is a rather clever mix, inspired both by contemporary concerns and by more recent thinking from urban historians and 468 [Bsmall][Osmall][Osmall][Ksmall] [Rsmall][Esmall][Vsmall][Ismall][Esmall][Wsmall][Ssmall] geographers. [...]we have on the one hand the Victorian metaphor of congestion, blockages and stagnation in the urban body, and on the other discussion of urban systems models that stress linkage and mobility as the economic, social and cultural lifeblood of urban civilization.
