The Gift in Sixteenth-century France

Natalie Zemon Davis

In this gem of a book, Natalie Zemon Davis explores the role of gifts in Renaissance France. From the King’s bounty to the beggar’s alms, from the lavish feasting and display of civic dignitaries to the humble tokens exchanged by peasant bride and groom, the giving and receiving of gifts - then, as now - held tremendous significance.
