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

“…98 Indeed, Lindström et al have argued for the conceptualisation of families and households as 'interacting and networking units of work'. 99 Secondly, the rhetoric of marriage in much of early modern Europe was more diverse than is implied from a study of conduct books. There was, in many cases, emphasis on the value of the labour of wives and an assertion that the financial stability of the family was to be secured 'by mutual hard work and cooperation'.…”

This article contributes to the debate around early modern women's work. It concerns not waged labour but rather the unpaid contributions made by women to both home and the business undertaken by their husband. It focuses on Elizabeth Jeake, the wife of Samuel Jeake, a merchant from the Sussex port of Rye. Through the letters exchanged between the family, it explores Elizabeth's skilled work in support of her husband. This included giving instructions to contractors, gathering and disseminating business and investment information, negotiations with Samuel's business partners and acquaintances, managing property and tenants, negotiating credit relationships and purchasing and selling commodities.

(Valborgi rådstugu)-when the mayor(s), the town councillors (rådman) and other local civil servants were traditionally chosen in the Swedish Realm 1-was held in Helsinki. That year Gabriel Abrahamsson (Rauthia 2) was nominated as the guard master of town (vachtmästare), an office suitable for a former cavalryman such as Gabriel. At first, his duty as a civil servant of Helsinki was mainly to organise the protection of the town and police the public order 3 , but soon after, it expanded to the supervision of trade. In December 1656, Gabriel was nominated as a market place bailiff (torgfogde) and before 1661, he served as a trade inspector (handelsuppsyningsman), a customs officer (lit. "coast-rider", in Swedish: strandridare) supervising (illegal) foreign trade, a customs officer (lit. "outrider", in Swedish: utridare) supervising (illegal) land trade, and as the town's public prosecutor (stadsfiskal). 4 1 Halila (1942), 217-225; Suolahti (1950), 315. 2 Gabriel is not called Rauthia in the sources, but his father used this surname. Gabriel's son Johan used the surname Rauthia or Rauthelius, too. As for Johan's son, for some reason, he started to use the more aristocratic surname Warnstedt, but there is no proof of connections to the German-Swedish noble family von Warnstedt. Enckell (1994); Karonen (1995), 100; Kotivuori (2005), see "Johan Gabrielsson". 3 Kansallisarkisto (KA) Helsingin raastuvanoikeuden tuomiokirjat (HRO) g:2, 3 May 1656. Generally, the guard masters of a town kept guard of the town area. The town's courthouse became a concretely familiar place to Gabriel, because in Helsinki, the heating of and the maintenance of order in the courthouse belonged to the tasks of the guard master of the town, too. In Helsinki, the guard master of the town also helped inspect the trade and collect crown and municipal taxes.
