Community and Clientele in Twelfth-Century Tuscany: The Origins of the Rural Commune in the Plain of Lucca - Hardcover
Synopsis
This book investigates a gap in Italian historiography by examining rural rather than city communes. Wickham's discussion of a group of villages around Lucca is the first detailed study of the origin of organized village communities in Italy to appear in over 70 years. It shows how the 12th-century social and political structures of the countryside ran alongside those of the city.

Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. This book addresses a gap in Italian historiography by examining rural rather than city communes. In recent years, historians have increasingly focused on local and regional studies of village communities as a way of understanding medieval European history. This discussion of a group of villages around Lucca is the first detailed study of the origin of organized village communities in Italy for over seventy years, showing how the social and political structuresof the countryside ran alongside those of the city. Chris Wickham analyses how local politics took recognizable shape as its ruling structures gradually emerged over time. His argument does not endthere, and indeed extends beyond Italy, to France and Spain, providing sustained comparisons of rural development and social organization. The result is a rare combination of systematic local analysis and wide synthesis, aimed at illuminating the whole area of social transformation in twelfth-century Europe. This book fills a gap in Italian historiography by examining village rather than city communes. Chris Wickham uses the experience of villagers in the area around Lucca to shed light on the working of rural communities all over early medieval Europe. This item is printed on demand.
