From the Inside Flap

"Colorfully written. . . his book opens new avenues of historical investigation beyond the usual legal, institutions, or purely economic approach to agrarian history. . . .His work has remained a classic of its kind for over three decades."--Choice "Bryce Lyon is inclined to believe that FRENCH RURAL HISTORY is Bloch's real masterpiece--a book that 'revolutionized the study of agrarian history and transformed many previous studies into museum pieces.' He is probably right."--Yale Review
