England's economy between 1050 and 1550 mirrored that of much of
continental Europe in its growing dependence upon trade over both
short distances and long. The essays in this collection are the
fruit of forty years of research into the complex and interrelated
issues involved. Describing this change can be achieved in part
through quantitative indices, such as the number and size of towns,
markets and fairs, and the volume of monetary circulation. A full
account also requires a discussion of widespread changes of work
experience, customary practices and moral values as households
became more dependent upon markets. In addition, the evidence of
transformative commercial growth in the medieval period gives rise
to numerous questions concerning its relationship to more modern
times. Modern economic growth and modern capitalism have often been
contrasted starkly with medieval economic stagnation and
traditionalism, but recent research implies a more continuous
process of economic development than that implied by these older
stereotypes. Many of the items in this collection are also relevant
to this more discursive aspect of medieval commercialisation.
