The Growth of the Manor (1905) is one of the key works of the
eminent expatriate Russian jurist, Paul Vinogradoff (1854 1925).
Expanding on his Oxford lectures, this book attempts to
re-establish coherence within English medieval history after the
critiques of scholars including Frederic Maitland had supposedly
obscured the historical narrative. Tracing the evolution of the
manor, Vinogradoff demonstrates how feudal law and tenurial
relationships evolved out of more primitive systems of male
descent. He claims there was demonstrable progress from a system of
communal action and responsibility to one of personal rights and
subjection that can be traced through what he calls the 'Celtic',
'Old English' and 'Feudal' periods. The latter system was secured
in the Norman Conquest of 1066, although the former continued to
exist underneath it. Of particular interest to those studying the
Domesday Book, this is also an important text for medievalists and
legal historians.
