Reviews

...a superb textbook covering the economy of the British Isles from 1050 to 1530...What makes this book so valuable [...is] its comprehensiveness and sure-footed approach throughout...the book is likely to be the standard work on the topic for many years to come...a tour de force of intelligent assessment and penetrating insight. John Langdon, University of Alberta By any standard, this book is an impressive achievement ... this book is the definitive statement of our times about those more distant times. H.B. Clarke, The Ricardian This important book represents the first meaningful attempt to provide an overview of the economy and society in Britain and Ireland during the middle ages. The English Historical Review
