Publisher Description This book about poor men and women in thirteenth- and early fourteenth-century Paris reveals the other side of the "age of cathedrals" in the very place where gothic architecture and scholastic theology were born. In Surviving Poverty in Medieval Paris, Sharon Farmer extends and deepens the understanding of urban poverty in the High Middle Ages. She explores the ways in which cultural elites thought about the poor, and shows that their conceptions of poor men and women derived from the roles assigned to men and women in the opening chapters of the Book of Genesis-men are associated with productive labor, or labor within the public realm, and women with reproductive labor, or labor within the private realm.Farmer proceeds to complicate this picture, showing that elite societys attitude toward an individuals social role and moral capacity depended not only on gender but also on the persons social status. Such perceptions in turn influenced the kinds of care extended or denied to the poor by charitable organizations and the informal self-help networks that arose among the poor themselves.Of particular interest are Farmers discussions of societys responses to men and women who were disabled to the point of being incapable of any work at all. Author Biography Sharon Farmer is Professor of History at the University of California, Santa Barbara. She is the coeditor, with Barbara Rosenwein, of Monks and Nuns, Saints and Outcasts: Religion in Medieval Society and the author of Communities of Saint Martin: Legend and Ritual in Medieval Tours, both from Cornell.
