This book investigates the forms that the aggression and violence
of peasant elites could take in early modern Fennoscandia, and
their role within society. The contributors highlight the social
stratification, inner divisions, contradictions and conflicts of
the peasant communities, but also pay attention to the elite as
leaders of resistance against the authorities. With the formation
of more centralised states, the elites' status and room for agency
diminished, but regional and temporal variations were great in this
relatively drawn-out process, and there still remained several
favourable contexts for their agency. Even though the peasant elite
was not a homogenous entity, the chapters in this collection
present us one uniting feature - the peasant elites' tendency to
assert themselves with an active and aggressive agency, even if
this led to very different outcomes.
