English Society in the Eleventh Century: Essays in English Mediaeval History (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from English Society in the Eleventh Century: Essays in English Mediaeval HistoryOne great question I have thought best to leave aside namely, the rise of English town life. The authorities of the eleventh century, and especially Domesday Book, supply us with capital evidence on this point, but the trend of such an inquiry leads to intricate problems which seem to require a separate and exhaustive treatment. I thought it sufficient for the day to discuss the principal types of development in country life to which the greater part of the Survey and of other eleventh-century documents are devoted.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
