Population History and the Family
This collection looks at the many dimensions of the study of populations and population movements.
Marriage and Fertility
In this volume the articles are primarily on European history, but their subject matter indicates the remarkable variety, both of the marriage and fertility patterns of past societies, and of the methods scholars have used to investigate them. Originally published in 1981. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of these important books while presenting them in durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press since its founding in 1905.
Hessians
Between 1776 and 1783, Britain hired an estimated 30,000 German soldiers to fight in its war against the Americans. Collectively known as Hessians, they actually came from six German territories within the Holy Roman Empire. Over the course of the war, members of the German corps, including women and children, spent extended periods of time in locations as dispersed and varied as Canada in the North to West Florida and Cuba in the South. They shared in every significant British military triumph and defeat. Thousands died of disease, were killed in battle, were captured by the enemy, or deserted. Collectively, they recorded their experiences and observations of the war they fought in, the land they traversed, and the people they encountered in a large body of letters, diaries, and similar private and official records. Friederike Baer presents a study of Britain's war against the American rebels from the perspective of the German soldiers, a people uniquely positioned both in the midst of the war and at its margins. The book offers a ground-breaking reimagining of this watershed event in world history.
Karl Alexander von Müller
Karl Alexander von Müller (1882-1964) was a mediator between traditional and Nazi historical viewpoints. He was well known before 1933 and quickly put himself and his knowledge at the disposal of the Nazis. Especially in his role as Editor of the "Historische Zeitschrift" (History Journal) was he able to engage other German historians in this effort. Matthias Berg draws a picture of the life and works of von Müller from his early childhood onward, bringing to light his writings during World War I and his opposition to the Weimar Republic as well as his later path into the service of the Nazi regime and his efforts to be rehabilitated after 1945.
Before Boas
"An extensive study of the emergence of ethnology and ethnography, and how theories in Europe and Russia during the eighteenth century experienced a paradigm shift with the work of Franz Boas starting in 1886"--
