The modern state, however we conceive of it today, is based on a
pattern that emerged in Europe in the period from 1100 to 1600.
Inspired by a lifetime of teaching and research, On the Medieval
Origins of the Modern State is a classic work on what is known
about the early history of the European state. This short, clear
book book explores the European state in its infancy, especially in
institutional developments in the administration of justice and
finance. Forewords from Charles Tilly and William Chester Jordan
demonstrate the perennial importance of Joseph Strayer's book, and
situate it within a contemporary context. Tilly demonstrates how
Strayer's work has set the agenda for a whole generation of
historical analysts, not only in medieval history but also in the
comparative study of state formation. William Chester Jordan's
foreword examines the scholarly and pedagogical setting within
which Strayer produced his book, and how this both enhanced its
accessibility and informed its focus on peculiarly English and
French accomplishments in early state formation.
