This is a study of one of the most unusual political entities in early modern Europe: the Freestate of the Three Leagues in the Grisons, a rural confederation of peasant villages in the Swiss Alps. New light is shed both on an early democratic state and on the role of community in the history of early modern democracy.Head, Randolph C. is the author of 'Early Modern Democracy in the Grisons Social Order and Political Language in a Swiss Mountain Canton, 1470-1620' with ISBN 9780521470865 and ISBN 0521470862.
