Routledge - Houses and Domestic Space in Hospitaller Malta

Explore the diverse world of early modern living with Houses and Domestic Space in Seventeenth and Eighteenth Century Hospitaller Malta. Published by Routledge, this scholarly work provides a deep look into the various types of dwellings found in Malta during this era. The study covers a broad spectrum of housing, from grand palazzi and wealthy residences to simple peasant dwellings, hovels, and even troglodyte houses. This book uses a multifaceted approach to examine how people lived. It goes beyond just looking at architecture and construction materials. Instead, it treats houses as active places of human habitation. You will learn how dwellers acted, reacted, and interacted within their specific environments and social contexts. This makes it a valuable resource for those interested in the history of domestic networks and the social history of the Military Religious Orders in Malta.
