Images of the Medieval Peasant by Paul Freedman
This book examines the conflicting images of peasants from the post-Carolingian period to the German Peasants' War-how they were represented as subhuman yet as close to God; as contemptible yet as exemplary Christians-and how such views formed the basis for social movements.
"Freedman's command of material drawn from all over Europe is impressive and anyone interested in the medieval or early modern German peasantry will profit greatly from reading this book" -- Central European History
Paul Freedman is Professor of History at Yale University and the author, most recently, of Church, Law, and Society in Catalonia, 900-1500.
