Feudal society (in 2 vols.)

Description

Feudal Society is considered to be a standard international treatise on feudalism. It is the last product of his scholarly activities. These volumes open up a view of Middle Ages much wider and truer than most other studies of dealing ostensibly with the same subject.

Marc Bloch was a mediaeval historian, University Professor and French Army officer. Bloch was a founder of the Annales School, best known for his pioneering study French Rural History and his posthumously-published unfinished meditation on the writing of hisory, The Historian’s Craft. He was captured and shot by the Gestapo during the German occupation of France for his work in the French Resistance.
