This book, first published in 1986, surveys the history of rural
society in Germany from the eighteenth century to the present day.
The contributions include studies of Junker estates and small
farming communities, serfs and landless labourers, maidservants and
worker-peasants. They demonstrate the variety and complexity of the
social division that structures the rural economy. Throughout the
book there is an emphasis on the conflicts that divided rural
society, and the ways and means in which these were expressed,
whether in serf strikes in eighteenth-century Brandenburg, village
gossip in early twentieth-century Hesse, or factional struggles
over planning permission in present-day Swabia. The rural world
emerges not as traditional, passive and undifferentiated , but as
actively participating in its own making; not only responding to
the changes going on around it, but exploiting them for its own
purposes and influencing them in its own way. This book is ideal
for students of history, particularly German history.
