This volume brings together a series of papers at Kalamazoo as well
as some contributed papers inspired by the fiftieth anniversary of
the publication of Lynn White Jr.'s, Medieval Technology and Social
Change (1962), a slim study which catalyzed the study of technology
in the Middle Ages in the English-speaking world. While the initial
reviews and decades-long fortune of the volume have been varied, it
is still in print and remains a touchstone of an idea and a time.
The contributors to the volume, therefore, both investigate the
book itself and its fate, and look at new research furthering and
inspired by White's work. The book opens with an introduction
surveying White's career, with a bibliography of his work, as well
as some opening thoughts on the study of medieval technology in the
last fifty years. Three papers then deal explicitly with the
reception and longevity of his work and its impact on medieval
studies more generally. Then five papers look at new cast studies
areas where White's work and approach has had a particular impact,
namely, medieval technology studies and medieval rural/ ecological
studies.
