In Women and Men in Early Modern Venice Satya Datta from a theoretically informed perspective focuses on two inter-related topics: reassessing the empiricist tradition of Venetian historiography and highlighting the issue of human experience by investigating the actual activities of common women and men and their multiple experience in shaping their own history under given but changeable societal conditions. The author makes explicit by interpretation just how the multiple experiences of common Venetians in the early modern period were shaped and articulated. For analytical clarity and convenience the fundamental theme is split into four distinct sub-themes: the social experiences of the artisan community the cultural experiences of art-related artisans the feminist experiences of intellectual women and the working experiences of ordinary women.
