The Domesday Book has long been used as a source of information
about legal and economic matters, but its bearing upon the
geography of medieval England has been comparatively neglected. The
extraction of geographical information involves problems of
interpretation, since it necessitates an analysis into elements and
their subsequent reconstruction on a geographical basis. But when
this has been done, new materials for making a general picture of
the relative prosperity of different areas are available as well as
data for the comparative study of varying geographic and economic
factors. The complete work, The Domesday Geography of England,
consists of seven volumes. This volume covers Gloucestershire,
Herefordshire, Shropshire, Staffordshire, Worcestershire,
Warwickshire, Leicestershire, Rutland and Northamptonshire. It is
the second edition of the second of the Domesday Geographies. First
published in 1954, the text has been considerably revised to take
account of recent research and new place-name identification. The
treatment of statistics for boroughs has been brought into line
with that of the other volumes of the series and a large number of
maps has been altered.
