| Sumario: | The book ploughs a deep furrow between the 10th and 11th centuries, with the turn of the millennium resembling a time of fundamental change in the rural communities of western Europe, when "place" came to dominate group cohesion in a manner not previously seen. But I Neighbours and Strangers i applies new perspectives and the insights of recent scholarship in order to make the most of these source-types. Such an insight only emerged because the book's authors employed a comparative approach, working across their areas of specialism in order to attend to the local dynamics of different regions, without imposing a teleological view upon those early medieval rural settlements. |
