Course Objectives:	The course is designed to analyze the major changes in the Mediterranean cities and societies in the Modern Ages. The urban profile of the Mediterranean in the cinquecento, with the emergence of new social classes, (eg. picaroons), social and moral decadence in the urban side, paradoxical coexistence of the Spanish Inquisition and the deviations from the norm, economic boom which ended up in bankruptcy will be interpreted. Peasants who flooded into the growing towns, wages that lagged behind prices, immense expansion of the overseas trade, over-population and many other façades of this social metamorphosis will be analyzed hand in hand with the literary genres, archival data and various readings. The drastic change in the social profile which is perfectly portrayed in the shift from the chivalric romances to the newly-flourishing novel genre will be discussed.
