The Making of the Modern Greek Family: Marriage and Exchange in Nineteenth-Century Athens - Cambridge Studies in Social and Cultural Anthropology
Cassia, Paul Sant (University of Cambridge)
This 1991 study deals with a specific set of institutions in nineteenth-century Athens. Relying on matrimonial contracts, travellers' accounts, memoirs and popular literature, the author shows how the distinctive forms of marriage, kinship and property transmission evolved in Athens in the nineteenth century, became a feature of Greek society, and continued into the twentieth century.
