520 $aThe Thirty Years' War (1618-1648) was one of the greatest catastrophes ever to befall the German countryside. This book is a detailed study of how the people of the countryside experienced that war. It examines the village, the central social and cultural institution of the countryside, from several vantage points.
520 8 $aDrawing on fiscal records, official correspondence, ecclesiastical and court records, and material objects from the village in the Werra region of Hesse, John Theibault creates a nuanced view of what both the village and the war meant to the people who experienced them.
520 8 $aThe village is revealed as the site of competing interests - interests which responded to, and were transformed by, the challenge of war. The situation of villages emerging from the war was as much a product of how they were before the war as it was a consequence of the war itself. Hence the time span of this study, 1580 to 1720.
520 8 $aTheibault's study is a major contribution to recent efforts to reconceptualize the themes and chronology of early modern German history. It also contributes to the broader debate about the relationship between rural life, warfare, and political power in early modern europe.
