Whereas the history of workers and labor movements has been widely
researched, the history of work has been rather neglected by
comparison. This volume offers original contributions that deal
with cultural, social and theoretical aspects of the history of
work in modern Europe, including the relations between gender and
work, working and soldiering, work and trust, constructions and
practices. The volume focuses on Germany but also places the case
studies in a broader European context. It thus offers an insight
into social and cultural history as practiced by German-speaking
scholars today but also introduces the reader to ongoing research
in this field.
