Book Synopsis The state as master by : Maria Ågren

Download or read book The state as master written by Maria Ågren and published by Manchester University Press. This book was released on 2017-08-21 with total page 233 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: We tend to think of state service as the typical male form of work. However, this notion does not do justice to the early history of states and their servants, and it obscures the role of women and gender entirely. Teasing out these entanglements, The state as master shows how early modern state formation was subsidized by ordinary people's work and how, at the same time, the changing relationship between state authorities and families shaped the understanding of work and gender. This book is both a fascinating story of the hardships of customs official families in small Swedish towns and an innovative analysis of state formation and its short- and long-term effects.
