This 1996 book, based upon a vast range of documentary and
secondary sources, shatters the disproven but persistent myth of
the closed immobile village in the early modern period. It
demonstrates that even in traditionalist Castile, pre-industrial
village society was highly dynamic, with continuous inter-village,
inter-regional, and rural-urban migration. The book is rich in
human detail, with many vignettes of everyday life. Professor
Vassberg examines such topics as fairs and markets, the
transportation infrastructure, rural artisans and craftsmen,
relations with the state, and life-cycle service. The approach is
interdisciplinary, and pays special attention to how rural families
dealt with economic and social problems. The rural Castile that
emerges is a complex society that defies easy generalizations, but
one which is unquestionably part of the general European reality.
