Executioners, skinners, grave-diggers, shepherds, barber-surgeons, millers, linen-weavers, sow-gelders, latrine-cleaners, and bailiffs were among the 'dishonourable' by virtue of their trades. This dishonour was either hereditary, often through several generations, or it arose from ritual pollution whereby honourable citizens could become dishonourable by coming into casual contact with members of the outcast group. The dishonourable milieu of the city of Augsburg from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries is reconstructed to show the extent to which dishonour determined the life-chances and self-identity of dishonourable people. The book then investigates how honourable estates interacted with dishonourable people, and how the pollution anxieties of early modern Germans structured social and political relations within honourable society. 410 0$aCambridge studies in early modern history. 517 3 $aDefiled Trades & Social Outcasts 606 $aSocial classes$zGermany$xHistory 606 $aOccupations$zGermany$xHistory 615 0$aSocial classes$xHistory. 615 0$aOccupations$xHistory. 676 $a305.5/0943 700 $aStuart$b Kathy$01092308 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910783310203321 996 $aDefiled trades and social outcasts$93678613 997 $aUNINA
