Product Description

Review

As a one-stop book for archaeologists seeking to understand the intellectual debates that lurk implicitly behind so much historical writing on the medieval economy, this is excellent. (The Society for Medieval Archaeology )

Intriguing ... highly enjoyable and provocative. (The Agricultural History Review )

Modelling the Middle Ages ... provides a cogent and comprehensive survey of the history and economics of late medieval England and an invaluable survey and an invaluable survey of the history of thought concerning those topics. (EH.NET )

Overall, the book does an excellent job of accomplishing its two goals. The first was to provide a clear and accessible introduction to the conceptual frameworks that have dominated this field for many decades. The second was to assess the strengths and weaknesses, relevance, and credibility of the models. (EH.NET )

Lucid, learned, and at times passionate ... the book is important and will undoubtedly be found indispensable for many years to come. (English Historical Review )

Will be welcomed by students and teachers of economic history. Examining English economic development between the Norman Conquest and the late fifteenth century they [Hatcher and Bailey] present a wonderfully clear exposition of the three 'classic supermodels' that have dominated debates on the medieval economy and its transition towards commercial modernity ... The very real achievement of this book is to make these debates and their consequences accessible and interesting, even at times positively exciting ... few could doubt its usefulness and timeliness. (History Workshop Journal )

The Agricultural History Review

"Intriguing ... highly enjoyable and provocative."

5.0 out of 5 stars Brilliantly accessible, 3 Feb 2004
By A Customer
Economic history is never the most accessible, nor captivating facet of the many areas of historical study. As a history undergraduate I frequently hear fellow students bemoan the fact that, for many of us, economic history remains a compulsory area of study. One which, by and large, we have little interest in, or at least find tricky to come to terms with. However, Hatcher and Bailey's 'Modelling the Middle Ages' is so lucidly argued and presented as to make the study of medieval economics enjoyable! Whilst I would not recommend this book as one to be read for pleasure by anyone other than serious enthusiasts, for students baffled by historiography, stuggling to come to terms with the various merits of the Malthusian and Marxist approaches to the Medieval economy, this book has much to offer. If you read just one book on the Medieval economy (too obscure to be clichéd!!), this should be it, as it brilliantly embraces all the areas of historiographical debate.
