Rural History of Medieval European Societies : Trends and Perspectives, Hardcover by Alfonso, Isabel (EDT), ISBN 2503520693, ISBN-13 9782503520698, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US The overwhelming majority of people living in medieval European societies spent their entire lives on farms and other rural settings, but until recently they did not receive much scholarly attention. However, the contributors of these seven articles show that we are beginning to better understand rural life and its implications for national history, the evidence being truly remarkable results and significant debates. Each article here focuses on the agrarian history of a different country, showing how the practice of historiography of each relates to the others and how these approaches relate to overarching themes in historical scholarship and social studies. Articles cover recent work on the medieval agrarian histories of Britain, France, Spain, Italy, the German-speaking states and Poland, and show how the movement toward understanding the society of the many relates to the great deeds of a very few.
