Progress and Problems in Medieval England: Essays in Honour of Edward Miller [Hardcover] Britnell, Richard and Hatcher, John

In this series of essays on the society and economy of England between the eleventh and the sixteenth centuries, fourteen contributors address many of the most important themes in an era that experienced profound change in rural, commercial, urban and industrial life. Subjects covered include the growth of London, the commercial and urban development of the north, Italian merchants and banking, overseas trade, taxation, farm servants, hunting and poaching, changing relations between landlords and tenants, the expansion of the economy in the twelfth century and the great slump of the fifteenth.
