Book Description
This account of the changing relationship between lords and peasants in medieval England challenges many received ideas about the "origins of the manor", the status of the Anglo-Saxon peasantry, the 12th-century economy and the origins of villeinage. The author covers the period from the end of the Roman empire to the late-12th century, tracing in post-Conquest society the continuing influence of developments which originated in Anglo-Saxon England. Drawing on work in archaeology and landscape studies, as well as on documentary sources, the book describes a fundamental division within the peasantry: that between the very dependent tenants and agricultural workers on the "inland" of the estates of ministers, kinds and lords, and the more independent peasantry of the "warland". The study leads to the expression of views on many aspects of the development of society in the period.

Book Description
Excerpt from The English Peasantry It is a remarkable circumstance that, notwithstanding the great and growing importance of the subject, no comprehensive work on the English peasantry has appeared since the commencement of the movement which led to the establishment of the National Agricultural Labourers' Union. The only comprehensive sources of information in reference to this subject are the Reports of the Royal Commission (1867) on the Employment of Women and Children in Agriculture. But these Reports, included in seven large and closely-printed Blue Books, are far too bulky for general use; besides which, the information contained in them is not arranged in a manner adapted for popular reading.

Book Description
Challenging a hundred-year tradition that English peasants were serfs at the disposal of their lord, J.A. Raftis argues that tenants were in considerable control of the manorial regime and were able to take advantage of what most scholars have considered to be exploitive and negative aspects of the medieval agricultural economy.
