«’Although some of Campbell’s findings have been amended or amplified by subsequent research, none of the papers in this remarkably coherent collection appears outdated, and despite some inevitable overlap can usefully be read together by historians interested in longterm agricultural progress and technological change.’ English Historical Review ’...this is a well-produced collection of essays in which all medieval agricultural historians will find much of interest.’ Economic History Review»
