A collection of twenty-two essays by the distinguished Cambridge economic historian Michael Postan (1899-1981). ‘Professor Postan’s work on the social and economic history of the middle ages has had an enormous influence upon the study of medieval history and upon the development of the subject. His essays, now published for the first time in book form, represent his major contribution and are a unique and valuable addition to the literature’ (dust jacket blurb).
