The culture of insurgents in early modern Europe was primarily an
oral one; memories of social conflicts in the communities affected
were passed on through oral forms such as songs and legends. This
popular history continued to influence political choices and
actions through and after the early modern period. The chapters in
this book examine numerous examples from across Europe of how
memories of revolt were perpetuated in oral cultures, and they
analyse how traditions were used. From the German Peasants' War of
1525 to the counter-revolutionary guerrillas of the 1790s, oral
traditions can offer radically different interpretations of
familiar events. This is a 'history from below', and a history from
song, which challenges existing historiographies of early modern
revolts.
