Marc Bloch was one of the founders of social history, if by that is
meant the history of social organization and relations to contrast
to the more conventional histories of political elites and
diplomatic relations. His great monographs in medieval history are
well known, but his original articles have been difficult to
obtain. The present collection of essays explores the dimensions of
servitude in medieval Europe. The typical political relations of
that era were those of feudalism--the hierarchical relations of
juridically free men. The feudal superstructure was based on a
foundation of unfree masses composed of people of differing degrees
of servility. In these articles Marc Bloch focussed on the
heterogeneous world of slaves and serfs, concertrating particularly
on the causes for its growth in the Carolingian period and its
decline in the thirteenth century. This title is part of UC Press's
Voices Revived program, which commemorates University of California
Press's mission to seek out and cultivate the brightest minds and
give them voice, reach, and impact. Drawing on a backlist dating to
1893, Voices Revived makes high-quality, peer-reviewed scholarship
accessible once again using print-on-demand technology. This title
was originally published in 1975.
