Review

"Jonathan Sperber offers a methodologically exemplary analysis of 1,646 civil law suits centered on property disputes that flared up in the nineteenth-century Bavarian Palatinate."--Journal of Modern History

"This important book casts light on myriad aspects of urban and rural everyday life in the long nineteenth century, and offers new perspectives on the nature of civil society and the constructedness of social values and social relations more generally.... This well-researched and well-written work has something to offer almost all students of nineteenth-century Germany."--Brian Vick, Central European Studies

"An outsized contribution to current scholarship on civil society, constituting a masterful blend of methods and literatures from one of the field's leading scholars. It should stimulate discussion, invite comparison, and launch future research on 'property regimes' in modern civil society."--James M. Brophy
