{"product_id":"life-in-medieval-landscapes-book-sam-turner-9781905119400","title":"Life in Medieval Landscapes","description":"Life in Medieval Landscapes  presents new studies on key themes in the economic and social history of the medieval  landscape. The book draws together papers by medieval historians  and archaeologists, with contributions by leading scholars in  each field. The first part explores the nature of landscape regions in  Britain and Ireland. Chapters explore the use and experience of  different types of landscapes including marshlands, uplands,  woodland and woodpasture. The papers analyse a wide variety of  sources from detailed archival work on medieval records to place-names, archaeological survey and the study of veteran  trees. A particular theme in several papers is the exploration of  social, economic and spatial marginality.  The second part presents new studies of labour and lordship. The  contributions focus on medieval England, including aspects of the  land market before the Black Death, the organisation of village  communities, and how changing settlements related to demography and occupations. There is a particular focus on understanding the  lives of peasants and labourers.  The main themes of the book reflect the interests of Professor  Harold Fox, whose death in 2007 was marked by a number of  conferences in different parts of the UK. The papers in this volume have been offered by Harold's colleagues, friends and  former research students as a tribute to his work. They showcase  some of the best research in the fields of medieval landscape and  social history. Contributors include Chris Dyer, Bruce Campbell, Andrew Fleming,  Della Hooke, Jem Harrison, Ros Faith, Peter Herring, Mark  Gardiner, Angus Winchester, Andrew Jackson, Alan Fox, Mark Page,  Mike Thompson, Mike Thornton, Matt Tompkins, Penelope Upton and  Richard Jones.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ LIKE_NEW \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":49560952733969,"sku":"GOR013332107","price":43.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1905119402.jpg?v=1751156624","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/products\/life-in-medieval-landscapes-book-sam-turner-9781905119400","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
