Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book interprets and applies previous scholarship on the history and nature of servitude from the classical world through the Renaissance. The author discusses slavery, serfdom, indentured labor, and military service, drawing on the research of the last generation to present a comprehensive overview of the theme of unfree labor in various European and Mediterranean societies. The author examines the multiple meanings of servile status, as well as its development and transformation throughout premodern European history. The book also illuminates the historiography of servitude, revealing how changing understandings of freedom and the evolution of modern capitalism influenced the study of unfree labor. The book combines a synthetic overview with new contributions to the study of servitude, arguing that unfree labor was not a marginal phenomenon but central to the history of work, law, and social stratification in premodern Europe.
