Christopher Loveluck's study explores the transformation of
Northwest Europe (primarily Britain, France and Belgium) from the
era of the first post-Roman 'European Union' under the Carolingian
Frankish kings to the so-called 'feudal' age, between c.AD 600 and
1150. During these centuries radical changes occurred in the
organisation of the rural world. Towns and complex communities of
artisans and merchant-traders emerged and networks of contact
between northern Europe, the Mediterranean, and the Middle and Far
East were redefined, with long-lasting consequences into the
present day. Loveluck provides the most comprehensive comparative
analysis of the rural and urban archaeological remains in this area
for twenty-five years. Supported by evidence from architecture,
relics, manuscript illuminations and texts, this book explains how
the power and intentions of elites were confronted by the
aspirations and actions of the diverse rural peasantry, artisans
and merchants, producing both intended and unforeseen social
changes.
