Slavery In Germanic Society During The Middle Ages is a comprehensive study of the role of slavery in Germanic societies during the medieval period. Written by Agnes Mathilde Wergeland, the book delves into the historical, social, and economic factors that influenced the practice of slavery in these societies.The book begins by exploring the origins of slavery in Germanic societies, tracing its development from the early Germanic tribes through the Middle Ages. It examines the various forms of slavery that existed, including chattel slavery, debt bondage, and serfdom, and the ways in which these systems were maintained and enforced.Wergeland also analyzes the impact of slavery on Germanic society, looking at how it affected social structures, economic systems, and cultural practices. She examines the role of slaves in agriculture, industry, and domestic service, and the ways in which their labor contributed to the growth and development of Germanic societies.Throughout the book, Wergeland draws on a wide range of primary sources, including legal codes, chronicles, and archaeological evidence, to provide a detailed and nuanced picture of slavery in Germanic society. She also explores the ways in which slavery was represented in literature and art, and the ways in which these representations reflected and reinforced prevailing attitudes towards slavery.Slavery In Germanic Society During The Middle Ages is a valuable resource for scholars and students of medieval history, as well as anyone interested in the history of slavery and its impact on society. It provides a fascinating glimpse into a little-studied aspect of medieval life, and sheds light on the complex and often contradictory attitudes towards slavery that existed in Germanic societies during this period.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
