About this Item
Description:
Previous owner's name. Dust-jacket spine faded. Dust-jacket protected in archival mylar cover. ; xxii, 295, [3 (blank)] pages. Dark blue cloth boards with gilt lettering and publisher's emblem on spine. Page dimensions: 215 x 135mm. "The peasant stands at the hear of medieval life because his product fed everyone. The lordship by which this was achieved is crucial to our understanding of the age, yet serfdom's impact on village life remains obscure. Some scholars denounce the Law of Villeinage as an instrument of repression. Others wave it aside as irrelevant to everyday life. This study seeks to show the error of these extremes." - from dust-jacket blurb. Seller Inventory # 24659
