The first part of David Nicholas's massive two-volume study of the
medieval city, this book is a major achievement in its own right.
(It is also fully self-sufficient, though many readers will want to
use it with its equally impressive sequel which is being published
simultaneously.) In it, Professor Nicholas traces the slow
regeneration of urban life in the early medieval period, showing
where and how an urban tradition had survived from late antiquity,
and when and why new urban communities began to form where there
was no such continuity. He charts the different types and functions
of the medieval city, its interdependence with the surrounding
countryside, and its often fraught relations with secular
authority. The book ends with the critical changes of the late
thirteenth century that established an urban network that was
strong enough to survive the plagues, famines and wars of the
fourteenth and fifteenth centuries.
