DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Stories of Village, and Town Life: Or Word-Pictures of Old England The stories which make up this volume have been selected from various annuals which have been brought together after many years collecting by a lover of books. They are presented as reliable pen-pictures of life as it was presented in our country places before the exodus of many of their inhabitants to crowded centres, and of the peaceful days which preceded the advent of the motor-car. It should be added that the author of these stories was born in 1787, and that she died in 1855. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →This is a comparative study of the role of English and French towns in feudal society in the middle ages. In bringing together much material which dissolves old categories and simplifications in the study of medieval towns, Professor Hilton provides an important new perspective on medieval society and on the nature of feudalism. He argues that medieval towns were not, as is often thought, the harbingers of capitalism, and emphasises the way in which urban social structures fitted into, rather than challenged, feudalism.

DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Old English Towns An attempt is made in this work to give descriptive and historical accounts of the more important of our "Old English Towns." Their rise and the chief buildings of past ages, remarkable episodes and phases of old-time social life, receive consideration. It will be shown how towns have risen under the protection of castles, how others have grown under the care of religious houses, while others have advanced under royal patronage. Old customs linked with the lives of the people receive attention. The Cathedrals of the country are fully dealt with in other volumes in this series, and are, therefore, not described at length.
