Description
Using historical census microdata and quantitative methods this book captures patterns of leaving home and life-cycle service, marriage and household formation, as well as domestic group structures and living arrangements among different subpopulations of the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth in the 18th century.
«[This] book is a magnificent achievement, one of the best works on Poland-Lithuania published in the last decade.»
(Robert Frost, The Slavic Review Vol. 76 2017)
«The work should serve as a reference point for any researcher wishing to embark upon an analysis of family forms in East-Central and South-Eastern Europe. Its scrupulously built analysis, which leaves no potential explanatory pathway unexplored, is a refreshing departure from the norm.»
(Oana Sorescu-Iudean, Jahrbücher für Geschichte Osteuropas 65/2017)
«This magnum opus will serve in many ways as an example for current and future generations of historical demographers and family historians, and the importance of this work goes well beyond the region of study.»
(Paul Puschmann, Continuity and Change Vol. 33, Issue 1/2018)
