Tiivistelmä
Biographical approaches to early modern history <br/>This book contributes to the debates on the role and theory of biographical and life-writing research in historical research and <br/>methodology. The first part of the study analyses how biographical <br/>approaches have until now been used in research into the early modern <br/>history of Finland. It explores how the trends in biographical history <br/>have evolved from the eighteenth century to today. Church leaders and <br/>bishops were emphasised in a country that could boast of few statesmen. <br/>Early modern women’s biographies have been strongly influenced by <br/>fictional traditions. The second part presents four attempts at new ways <br/>of producing and presenting biographical histories that yield new kinds <br/>of information on early modern society. These chapters are influenced <br/>by the so-called new histories (which by now have become rather <br/>traditional social and cultural histories), microhistory, gender history, <br/>and the history of experience.
