Book Overview
"One of the most important, imaginative, solidly documented, well written books of medieval history that I have ever read. . . . It offers a unique combination of synthetic power and analytic perception, of bold judgment and Cartesian doubt, of hard economic facts and subtle psychological considerations."--

Duby digs deep
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Duby once again has presented a thorough presentation of economic history of a really tough period for historians. Written records of this time tend to be skewed to the nobility and the clergy while the peasant and the work in the fields is cloaked in darkness. Duby gives us a flashlight to see them, albeit one with a bit of Marxist tone to it. He traverses a wide array of references and resources from very diverse fields of study to support his work. I highly recommend it.
