Peasant and Community in Medieval England, 1200-1500

In recent years, work on the medieval English peasant has tended to stress the degree of interaction between the village and the world beyond its bounds. This book not only provides an overview of this research, but also develops this approach. Phillipp R. Schofield describes the traditional world of the peasant - with attention given to such issues as relations between lord and tenant, and the nature of the peasant family - and places the peasantry of the late middle ages within the wider political, legal, ecclesiastical, and commercial world of the medieval community.Schofield, Phillipp R. is the author of 'Peasant and Community in Medieval England, 1200-1500' with ISBN 9780333647110 and ISBN 0333647114.
