Recensione

'... this short volume is a treasury of information concerning the social and political conflicts which [the events of 1381] expressed.' Agricultural History Review

'Historians of the Rising of 1381 must now rend the veil of the Poll Taxes, that neat and easy, but insufficient, explanation for what happened ... These essays have served to illuminate several aspects of the climate of revolt in France and Florence, but predominantly in England, in the second half of the fourteenth century.' Economic History Review

Descrizione del libro

It has been the subject of many works, specialized and popular, especially since the 600th anniversary in 1981. This present volume eschews general narrative history.
