| Publisher Description: Vinogradoff argues that the Norman-era villain was the direct descendent of the Anglo-Saxon freeman, so the typical Anglo-Saxon settlement was a free community rather than a manor. An impressive work of original scholarship and synthesis, it "shed a wholly new light on the social and legal aspects of the institution of villainage" (William Holdsworth, The Historians of English Law 86). xii, 464 pp. |
Contributor Bio(s): Vinogradoff, Paul: - Justly famous as a comparative lawyer and historian of roman law, Paul Vinogradoff [1854-1925] also wrote on public international law and English legal history.
