Acting as a social glue against instability and fragmentation, these social solidarities were eroded in some areas while new ones emerged in periods of great transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSharon Kettering highlights how:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNuclear family ties emerged at the expense of extended kinship ties.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditional rural ties were weakened by demographic crisis and agricultural stagnation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eUrban ties of neighbourhood, sociability, and work grew with rapid urbanization.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBy 1715, France had become a more peaceful and civilized place, and this book discusses some of the key reasons behind this transformation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Routledge","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49870270071088,"sku":"Sarat_9780582307063","price":4875.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0690\/9968\/4144\/files\/routledge-book-default-title-french-society-1589-1715-social-history-of-europe-41065781428528.jpg?v=1775953628","url":"https:\/\/www.retailmaharaj.com\/bn\/products\/french-society-1589-1715-social-history-of-europe","provider":"Retail Maharaj","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
