Britain and Ireland 1050-1530 Reviews

...a superb textbook covering the economy of the British Isles from 1050 to 1530...What makes this book so valuable [...is] its comprehensiveness and sure-footed approach throughout...the book is likely to be the standard work on the topic for many years to come...a tour de force of intelligent assessment and penetrating insight. * John Langdon, University of Alberta *
By any standard, this book is an impressive achievement ... this book is the definitive statement of our times about those more distant times. * H.B. Clarke, The Ricardian *
This important book represents the first meaningful attempt to provide an overview of the economy and society in Britain and Ireland during the middle ages. * The English Historical Review *
