Förlagets beskrivning
At last a major topic in early medieval English history has found its
author, who deals with it comprehensively and systematically. ECONOMIC HISTORY
REVIEW A landmark teatment...immensely enriches the debate about early medieval
working classes. SPECULUM Slaves were part of the fabric of English society
throughout the Anglo-Saxon era and the twelfth century, but as the base of the
social pyramid, they have left no known written records; there are, however,
extensive references to them throughout the documents and writings of the
period. This important study seeks to assemble the evidence, drawn from a
variety of sources in Old English and Latin, to convey a picture of slaves and
slavery in England, viewed against the background of English society as a
whole. An extensive appendix on the vernacular terminology of slavery reveals
the concepts of enslavement to be embedded in the religious imagery of the
period. DAVID PELTERET is Senior Research Fellow, Department of History, King's
College London. This important study seeks to assemble the evidence, drawn from a variety
of sources in Old English and Latin, to convey a picture of slaves and slavery
in England, viewed against the background of English society as a whole.
