Peasant Revolt

In 1348 a group of villein tenants of the manor of Badbury of the Abbey of Glastonbury in Wiltshire attempted to go to court in order to prove that their manor was of ancient demesne status. Although the peasants were unsuccessful in their claim, they tried again in 1377. Their case is entered and explained in unusual detail in the court records of the manor, and therefore allows us valuable insights in this particular, and far from uncommon, form of peasant resistance. This paper explores the motives and aims of the peasants who planned the action, the organisation of their revolt, and the individuals involved, whose background and histories can be traced through the court records.

AbstractThis article is concerned with explanations of the failure of stateformation and nation building in liberal Italy, and concentrates on attempts to integrate western Sicily into the new political framework. The marxist account of this process has emphasized the extent of peasant revolt against the new state, and its brutal repression. Unification, it is argued, failed because it was based on coercion and domination rather than on leadership by popular consent. The present article suggests that this explanation is incomplete as it ignores the behaviour and attitude of local elites within western Sicily. The dominance of local affairs by such groups was challenged by the advent of a modern centralizing state. The article uses records from this period to show that many local notables frustrated government efforts to set up new town councils, new police forces and a liberal judicial system. This kind of resistance was far more difficult to overcome than popular revolt, because it could (and did) challenge the whole basis of centralized liberal rule. The article also looks at the military repression of the 1860s and argues that it too was undermined by the opposition of local elites. An additional reason, therefore, for the failure of unification after 1860 may be the new state's lack of appeal among its supposed class allies.

The Image of Slovenes and Gottschee Germans in the Historical Novel Rebellion in der GottscheeThis article surveys the literature of the Gottschee Germans, the formal inhabitants of the Gottschee region in Slovenia. It begins by summarising the history and literary works of the Gottschee Germans, and secondly it deals with the historic novel Rebellion in der Gottschee by Karl Rom. The novel was published in 1938 in German. It focuses on the great peasant revolt in Slovenia (Carniola) that took place in 1515. The revolt was organised by the Gottschee Germans against the violent landlord and was soon repressed after that. Based on image studies (imagology) the article analyses the picture presented of the Slovenes and Gottschee Germans and discusses how Slavs (Slovenes) and Germans (Gottschee Germans) are represented in the novel. Wizerunek Słoweńców i Niemców z Kočevja w powieści historycznej Rebellion in der GottscheeArtykuł analizuje literaturę Niemców z Kočevja, będących niegdyś mieszkańcami tego słoweńskiego regionu. W pierwszej części została przedstawiona historia oraz twórczość literacka koczewskich Niemców, następnie uwaga skupia się na powieści historycznej Rebellion in der Gottschee (Bunt w Kočevju) autorstwa Karla Roma. Powieść ukazała się w 1938 roku w języku niemieckim, opisuje zaś wielki chłopski bunt w Słowenii (w ówczesnej Krainie) z roku 1515. Mieszkańcy Kočevja wzniecili bunt przeciwko okrutnemu właścicielowi ziemskiemu, jednak został on bardzo szybko stłumiony. Wpisując się w perspektywę imagologiczną, artykuł bada wizerunek Słowian (Słoweńców) i Germanów (Niemców z Kočevja) przedstawionych w powieści. Podoba Slovencev in kočevskih Nemcev v zgodovinskem romanu Rebellion in der GottscheePrispevek preučuje književnost kočevskih Nemcev, nekdanjih prebivalcev slovenske pokrajine Kočevske. V prvem delu kratko predstavi zgodovino in književno ustvarjalnost kočevskih Nemcev, nato pa se osredotoča na zgodovinski roman Rebellion in der Gottschee (Upor na Kočevskem), ki ga je napisal Karl Rom. Roman je izšel leta 1938 v nemškem jeziku in opisuje veliki kmečki upor v Sloveniji (v tedanji Kranjski), ki se je odvijal leta 1515. Upor so organizirali prebivalci Kočevske proti nasilnemu zemljiškemu gospodu in je bil kmalu tudi zatrt. Na podlagi imagologije članek analizira podobo Slovanov (Slovencev) in Germanov (kočevskih Nemcev) v romanu.
