Robert Palmer examines this transformation of the English parish and argues that it was an important...

Addressed to the common reader as well as specialists in law, this book ties the already recognized framework for constitutional construction, that of political theory, together with human psychology.
It presents a model that systemizes the forces that act upon us, both individually and en masse; it explains why some will embrace a system of principled law while others will prefer a system of arbitrary law; and it explores the qualitative difference...

In Negotiation and Resistance, Constance Brittain Bouchard challenges familiar depictions of the peasantry as an undifferentiated mass of impoverished and powerless workers. Peasants in eleventh-and twelfth-century France had far more scope for action, self-determination, and resistance to oppressive treatment-that is, for agency-than they are usually credited with having.
