The Yorkshire-born barrister, banker and economic historian
Frederic Seebohm (1833 1912) first came to attention with his work
on the Reformation intellectuals Colet, Erasmus and More. In this
work, first published and then reissued in 1883, Seebohm's focus is
on the agrarian history of medieval England, with special reference
to problems of early land tenure and the social system that
developed from it. Seebohm stresses the continuity between Roman
settlement and English villages, and he regards the manor, whose
lands were cultivated by serfs, as the original form of landed
property among the Anglo-Saxons and other Germanic peoples. He was
the first British historian to provide a detailed description of
the structure and economic life of the large manor, based on the
unpaid labour of the serfs, and of the relations between the manor
and the community. The book remains an influential treatment of the
feudal system.
