This book explores social cohesion in rural settlements in western
Europe from 700-1050, asking to what extent settlements, or
districts, constituted units of social organisation. It focuses on
the interactions, interconnections and networks of people who lived
side by side - neighbours. Drawing evidence from most of the
current western European countries, the book plots and interrogates
the very different practices of this wide range of regions in a
systematically comparative framework. Neighbours and strangers
considers the variety of local responses to the supra-local agents
of landlords and rulers and the impact, such as it was, of those
agents on the small-scale residential group. It also assesses the
impact on local societies of the values, instructions and demands
of the wider literate world of Christianity, as delivered by local
priests. -- .
