Hermann Rebel argues that the bureaucratic reorganization of property and family structures between 1511 and 1636 was not merely administrative — it was a fundamental reshaping of peasant identity and class relations under the pressures of early modern absolutism. Drawing on archival sources and social theory, the work presents a rigorous analysis of how state authority penetrated the everyday lives of rural communities, regulating inheritance, marriage, and landholding in ways that entrenched social hierarchy. Rebel's study stands as a powerful contribution to both European agrarian history and the broader understanding of how early modern states consolidated power over subordinate populations.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130540105947,"sku":"2026200010776-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/655d3863-62d7-4041-a47e-1162002523d6.png?v=1786586504","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200010776-secondhand-peasant-classes-the-bureaucratization-of-property-and-family-relations-under-early-habsburg-absolutism-1511-1636","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
