... probably the best introduction to many of the debates in progress among students of medieval social history and to some of the basic interpretations of medieval society that are being worked out.'Edward Miller in The Times Higher Education SupplementThe essays in this book were originally published in Past and Present over a period of fifteen years. Professor Hilton has chosen them from a much larger pool of articles on medieval subjects in order to reveal important themes in the history of later medieval England (from the twelfth to the fifteenth centuries). As a whole, they illustrate the range and depth of recent writing on medieval English history, and will appeal to a wide variety of non-specialist readers, in addition to professional historians already familiar with the original articles.
