Bøker av Bruce M. S. (Queen's University Belfast) Campbell

A major new account of the fourteenth-century crisis when climate change, disease and a transformation of the military and political balance of power reshaped the medieval world. Bruce Campbell reveals how these factors combined in a devastating succession of famines, floods, human and animal mortality, wars and financial crises.

This book, first published in 2000, was the first single-authored treatment of medieval English agriculture at a national scale. It deals comprehensively with cultivation carried out by landowners on their demesne farms. Methodologically innovative, the book provides a framework and context for all future scholarship on the medieval and early agrarian economies.
