Book Synopsis Credit and Village Society in Fourteenth-Century England by : Chris Briggs
Book excerpt: Credit transactions were a common and important feature of peasant society in the middle ages. This study of rural credit in medieval England uses the evidence of inter-peasant debt litigation to investigate the lenders and borrowers, the uses to which credit was put, and the effects of credit on social relationships.
