This book gives voice, in unusual depth and immediacy, to ordinary
villagers and landlords (Junkers) in the Prussian-German
countryside, from the late Middle Ages to the nineteenth century.
The trials and fortunes of everyday life come into view - in the
family, the workplace, in the private lives of both men and women,
in courtroom and jailhouse, and under the gaze of the rising
Prussian monarchy's officials and army officers. What emerges is a
many-dimensioned, long-term study of a rural society, inviting
comparisons on a world-historical level. The book also puts to a
test the possibilities of empirical historical knowledge at the
microhistorical or 'grass-roots' level. But it also
reconceptualizes, on the scale of Prussian-German and European
history, the rise of agrarian capitalism, challenging views
widespread in the economic history literature on the common
people's working standards, and including massive documentation on
women's condition, rights and social roles.
