A critical appraisal of the influence exerted by Malthusian explanations of crisis in the early fourteenth century in the work of Michael Postan and Georges Duby. 0These papers are taken from the first of a series of five international conferences devoted to the European conjuncture in 1300. They examine the enduring influence of Michael Postan’ s Malthusian model of economic crisis, and in particular the impact upon non-English speaking historians of Postan’ s ideas as interpreted by Georges Duby. Through both historiographical essays and original research, the authors reinterpret the later medieval crisis on the continent and in Britain. The vision they express is of a medieval society in which economic, political, and social threads wove together town and country in a complex web extending to the furthest reaches of the ‘ margin’ , in the highlands of the Mediterranean and on the heaths of England. In order to understand the later medieval crisis, our attention must shift to how individuals negotiated and manoeuvred among institutions of exchange, power, and culture in their bewildering complexity rather than focus upon the modelling of reified factors.

This volume deals with the evolution of urban and rural communities in Provence and Languedoc in the high and late Middle Ages. Contributions by thirteen French, American, and Canadian scholars address recent insights in historical research and suggest directions for future investigation. The urban and rural worlds are treated separately in studies of the growth of communities in their political, topographical, social, and economic dimensions. Then the intersection of these worlds is explored through the intricate interrelations of town and country in these regions. Notarial registers are particularly rich sources of evidence for these scholars who are mindful of the southern French tradition of Roman and written law which underpinned both urban and rural institutions as they emerged in the course of the medieval period.

Définir toujours plus finement les contours des sociétés médiévales et les hiérarchies qui les traversent, mettre en lumière leurs stratégies économiques, scripturaires et politiques en valorisant l’agency des individus, tels sont les champs embrassés par François Menant ces quarante dernières années. Le crédit, les conjonctures de crise et les réponses qu’y apportent les sociétés urbaines et rurales, leur litteracy et leur communication politique sont autant de thèmes sur lesquels cet ouvrage a l’ambition d’offrir un panorama actualisé. Couvrant un large arc chronologique, du haut Moyen Âge à la Renaissance, dans un espace européen généralement orienté autour de la Méditerranée, ce livre collectif a également vocation à retracer les vastes réseaux scientifiques internationaux tissés par François Menant au cours de sa carrière : anciens élèves de l’École normale supérieure de Paris, maîtres de conférence, professeurs des universités, venus de France, d’Europe ou des Amériques offrent ainsi un instantané de la recherche en histoire économique et sociale actuelle. De l’individu au groupe, de la figure de l’entrepreneur médiéval aux élites rurales, de François Menant à ses élèves et à ses collègues, tel est le chemin que permettra de parcourir cette étude.
