Summary: "Träldomen i Norden: Ett blad ur den Svenska arbetarklassens älsta historia" by Emil Sommarin is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the origins and conditions of slavery (träldom) in the Nordic countries, particularly focusing on the Swedish context during the Viking age and the early Christian period. It highlights the social, legal, and economic aspects of slavery, shedding light on the lives of both slaves and their masters. In this detailed examination, Sommarin outlines the emergence of slavery through conflicts between various tribes, witnessing how captured individuals became slaves for labor. He describes the roles and tasks assigned to slaves, their treatment, and the dynamics of their relationships with free individuals. The book also addresses the influence of Christianity on the institution of slavery, noting how the spread of the new religion gradually led to improvements in the slaves' legal status and ultimately to the abolition of the formal practice of slavery as society evolved. Through a combination of historical narratives and legal references, the book provides a comprehensive understanding of this pivotal aspect of early Swedish society and its implications for the working class.
