First published in 1925 as part of the Cambridge Studies in
Medieval Life and Thought series, Coulton's The Medieval Village
was an expanded version of lectures given at University College of
Wales, Aberystwyth. Although a rigorous academic, who stressed the
importance of using primary sources, Coulton was skilled at making
medieval history accessible to a wider audience. He played an
important role in encouraging interest in the study of social and
economic, rather than political and military, history of the Middle
Ages among younger scholars. In the present work, he used his
extensive reading to discuss all aspects of peasant life throughout
medieval Europe. He covers a wide range of topics, including the
peasants' legal status and access to justice, their relationship
with the Church, their landlords, and their work and aspects of
daily life. The result is a fascinating picture of medieval life
for the common man.
