This book examines the conflicting images of peasants from the post-Carolingian period to the German Peasants’ Warhow they were represented as subhuman yet as close to God; as contemptible yet as exemplary Christiansand how such views formed the basis for social movements.

The breakdown of mutuality: laments over the mistreatment of peasants; Part II. The Origins of Inequality: 3. Equality and freedom at creation; 4. The curse of Noah; 5. National myths and the origins of serfdom; Part III. Unfavorable Images of Peasants: 6. Representations of contempt and subjugation; 7. Peasant bodies, male and female; Part IV.
