Serfdom and Slavery: Studies in Legal Bondage

Serfdom and Slavery explores the variety and common characteristics - of legal bondage in Europe and the New World since classical times. Within a tightly controlled framework of general contextual chapters followed by specific case studies, a distinguished team of scholars offers 17 specially written essays which range from classical Greece to early modern Brandenburg, and from medieval England to nineteenth-century Russia. It makes an important contribution to a topic of increasing international interest.

Contributors include Robert Brenner, Wendy Davies, Christopher Dyer, Stanley Engerman, William Hagen, Richard Saller and Howard Temperley.
