Description
University of Pennsylvania Press Rural Economy and Country Life in the Medieval West 1998 Edition by Georges Duby,Cynthia Postan, Foreword by Paul H. Freedman
In 1961 Georges Duby wrote what is still the best overview of European medieval rural history to date. Originally published in French and first translated into English in 1968, Rural Economy and Country Life in the Medieval West brings together local research on the countryside and its economic life and distills from it lessons that apply much more widely. With this edition, the University of Pennsylvania Press brings this modern classic back into print.
