Technology and Gender in Swedish Agriculture
When milking machines were introduced on Swedish farms during the first half of the twentieth century, milking and taking care of cows had long been women's responsibility, and adult men seldom entered the cowshed. As dairying became a commercial operation and the number and yield of cows increased, farm wives, daughters, maidservants, and hired milkmaids continued to perform this work. By the end of World War I, however, so many young women had …
Market growth, coordination problems and control – the timing of enclosures in East Central Sweden 1807–1892
The enclosure movement was a significant element of the agricultural revolution in Sweden. Legislation from 1749 onwards, opened up for Storskifte, which reduced the number of plots per owner, but did not touch the villages’ common field or housing structures. The edicts of Enskifte (1803–1807) and Laga skifte (1827), however, made possible the final dissolution of the open-field system. According to the Laga skifte legislation one single landown…
La historia y los estudios rurales a partir de los sesenta
Este texto analiza el cambio temático en la historia rural desde los años sesenta del siglo pasado hasta nuestros días. Los primeros escritos se centraron en la transición del feudalismo al capitalismo, en el crecimiento de las condiciones previas del desarrollo industrial a través de desarrollos dentro de la sociedad agraria preindustrial y, en gran medida, en la agencia campesina. Más tarde, el enfoque cambió hacia los estudios que incorporaban…
Smallholders’ and large estates’ reaction to changed market conditions 1860–1910
Reduced transport costs and income growth in industrialising European countries changed the market conditions for European farmers in the late nineteenth century. Grain prices fell while dairy prices rose. It has been claimed that these price changes hit large grain farmers with vested interests in grain trade particularly hard, while owner-occupiers and smallholders fared better and with help of developing cooperative associations, came out as s…
Agrarian History of Sweden
Subsistence Crises during the Ancien and Nouveau Régime in Sweden? An Interpretative Review
Cet article interroge la pertinence des concepts d'Ancien et de Nouveau Régime pour analyser l'augmentation du niveau de vie en Suède au xviiie et au xixe siècle. Trois tournants sont identifiés. Dans les années 1720, on observe un phénomène de rattrapage après une longue période combinant famine, guerre, épidémies et crise démographique. Si la production agricole per capita augmente alors, le niveau de vie reste bas tout au long d'un xviiie sièc…
On the stratification of the Swedish peasant class
Two research projects conducted under the auspices of the Institute of Economic History at the University of Uppsala, viz. ‘Capital Formation in Sweden 1750–1860’, and ‘The Structure of Ownership and Cultivation in Swedish Agriculture 1720–1860’, have generated a number of papers, mainly by undergraduates. These papers are only limited pilot studies of individual parishes (socknar) or hundreds (härader), but they do suggest some patterns of a mor…
