What are the best books about peasants and for peasants?

Historically-speaking, most peasants were illiterate and systematically barred from becoming literate by esoteric groups of rich schemers. Historically-speaking, most written languages were constructed to be different from the vulgar tongue, and difficult to learn, relying on artistry, dexterity, countless formalities rather than utilitarian sensibility. This is especially true of Korean pre-Sejong.

I enjoyed this. Read it twice when I was a teenager. Can't remember if I read the sequel or not. It's mad historical and gave me a love for the romantic version of the Middle Ages: it's all peasant dishes, menial labor, rape, and giving birth on the side of the road. Will probably read again soon, even if it sucks.
