Elected to a professorship at Oxford in 1903, to the British Academy in 1905, & knighted for services to the realm in increasing Anglo-Russian understanding during the war (1917), Vinogradoff demonstrates in this book of 1892 both his interest in feudal England & his historiographic approach, which relied on detailed research using primary sources to examine individuals, communities, & social structures. Divided into two essays - 'The Peasantry of the Feudal Age' & 'The Manor & the Village Community' - the work used England's extensive feudal records to draw a general character of the period. Villainage will interest students of English or European mediaeval history & scholars of mediaeval legal history & of developments in 19th century historiography. ER -
