Abstract

Stanislaw Borowiak's book presents an interesting approach to the study of the history of agrarian reform in the Kingdom of Prussia in the 19th century. Its author analyzes the relationship between the peasants of Greater Prussia and the landowners, taking into account, among other factors, changes in wages or working conditions of peasants. On the other hand, the author of this article comments the methodology adopted by Stanislaw Borowiak, compares it with the current historiography trends present in the study of the history of the Prussian partition, and proposes new approaches to the issues discussed in the future. He also draws attention to significant differences in the study of the history of 19th-century Greater Poland and West Prussia.
