"In this brilliant account of medieval Europe ... it is a pleasure to read an account that is so obviously of importance for our own societies, yet is conceived in a full international context." Times Higher Education Supplement "A fundamental work of historical sociology, as important in its way as the works of Georges Duby and Mark Bloch ... a courageous and wide-ranging thesis." M. T.
