This fascinating and important book uses a wealth of contemporary
sources to reconstruct the mental world of medieval farmers and, by
doing so, argues that these key figures in the Middle Ages have
been unfairly stereotyped. David Stone overturns the traditional
view of medieval countrymen as economically backward and instead
reveals that agricultural decision-making was as rational in the
fouteenth century as in modern times. Investigating agricultural
mentalities first at a local level and then for England as a whole,
Dr Stone argues that human action shaped the course of the rural
economy to a much greater extent than has hitherto been
appreciated, and challenges the commonly held view that the
medieval period was dominated by ecological and economic crises.
Focusing in particular on responses to commercial forces and the
adoption of agricultural technology, this book has significant
implications for our understanding of agricultural development
throughout the last thousand years.
