Bond Men Made Free by Rodney Hilton
Rodney Hilton's account of the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 remains the classic authoritative text on the 'English Rising'. Hilton views the revolt in the context of a genral European pattern of class conflict. He demonstrates that the peasant movements that disturbed the Middle Ages were not mere unrelated outbreaks of violence but had their roots in common economic and political conditions and in a recurring conflict of interest between peasants and landowners. Now with a new introduction by Christopher Dyer, this survey is still a leading source for students of medieval English peasantry.
`Rodney Hilton is now generally recognised as the greatest authority on these topics in the English-speaking world' - The Guardian
Rodney Hiltonwas Professor of Medieval Social History at the University of Birmingham and the author of many books on social and economic medieval history. Christopher Dyer is Professor of History at the University of Leicester.
