Relations between town and country are central to Europe's
long-term economic, political and social evolution. This 2001 book
surveys and re-interprets these relations in particular countries
and regions in the light of the most recent debates on state
formation, urbanisation, proto-industrialisation, and the regional
character of pre-modern economic growth. Thirteen specially
commissioned chapters, ranging chronologically from the Black Death
to the Enlightenment, give a comprehensive coverage of Europe, from
Spain to Sweden and England, and from the Polish Commonwealth to
Holland and Italy. Each chapter offers a self-contained analysis of
its country or region and provides a basis for systematic
comparison. The Introduction (by S. R. Epstein) discusses the
historiographical and theoretical framework for the regional
chapters, emphasising how evolving political configurations changed
the balance between 'coercive' and 'market-based' solutions to
town-country relations and set countries on different paths to
growth.
