Mapping the Household State
This article offers a comparative analysis of the early modern Danish and Swedish Household state in relation to the treatment of “disobedient” children. It uses law codes and court records to explore the dynamic relationship between the household and state, arguing that contrasting patterns are apparent despite the common features of absolutism, agrarian, and mono-confessional Lutheranism. In Denmark, the state often responded to such cases by a…
Family, Memory, and Identity
This article introduces a special issue on “family, memory, and identity.” Beginning with a survey of previous research in this area, especially exploring family as a site for collective memory, and the ways that family memory work shapes national histories, it introduces the contribution made by this special issue to our understanding of how family memory and national memory intertwine in the production of individual identity. Highlighting the k…
Negotiating Memory and Restoring Identity in Broken Families in Eighteenth-century Denmark
Early modern tugt workhouses are often seen as chaotic, multi-purposed institutions, mixing hardened criminals with marginal people like beggars and troublesome family members.

I argue that these negotiations provided an opportunity to restore …
I Trust You with My Child
During the 18th century, a series of new institutions appeared in the provinces of Denmark.

These tugt workhouses also became institutions for the reform of disobedient children behaving in an "un-Christian" manner. Children were often placed here at the initiative of their parents. The article argues that the trust placed by parents…
Authorities who care
This article argues that Luther’s doctrine of the three estates gradually came to structure Danish legislation following the Reformation and through this, the way in which society and social order were imagined. An essential element of the doctrine of the three estates was its understanding of authority, drawing on Luther’s explanation of the fourth commandment as consisting of mutual obligations. Parallel with the integration of the three estate…
The Lutheran Household as Part of Danish Confessional Culture
Lutheran Theology and the shaping of society
The History of Fatherhood in Norway, 1850–2012
Parenthood is currently a growing field within historical research. This reflects not only the attention that parenthood is receiving in public debates today, with questions of how to be a good par
