Food-growing gardens first appeared in early medieval cities during
a period of major social, economic, and political change in the
Italian peninsula, and they quickly took on a critical role in city
life. The popularity of urban gardens in the medieval city during
this period has conventionally been understood as a sign of decline
in the post-Roman world, signalling a move towards a subsistence
economy. Caroline Goodson challenges this interpretation,
demonstrating how urban gardens came to perform essential roles not
only in the economy, but also in cultural, religious, and political
developments in the emerging early medieval world. Observing
changes in how people interacted with each other and their
environments from the level of individual households to their
neighbourhoods, and the wider countryside, Goodson draws on
documentary, archival, and archaeological evidence to reveal how
urban gardening reconfigured Roman ideas and economic structures
into new, medieval values.
