Professor Bruce Campbell's career has been devoted to providing
systematic and highly influential studies of the medieval economy
and society of the British Isles, including his innovative work on
the role of the elites in defining medieval agricultural practices.
This volume draws together essays from a distinguished group of
researchers who have been inspired by Campbell's work and the
spirit of collegiality and inclusiveness that he has always
demonstrated, and who wish to celebrate his significant
contributions to scholarship. Many of the essays collected here
engage directly with critical issues raised in Professor Campbell's
own research: how medieval society fed itself with reputedly very
low levels of technology, the productivity of medieval society as a
whole, the impact of external forces (particularly climate), the
relationship between lords and peasants, and the importance of
non-seigniorial contributions to the medieval economy.
