—When and why did a distinctive form of social organization—the community— emerge in the medieval countryside, encompass the vast majority of the popula-tion, and provide the foundations on which medieval and modern society would build? In Rural Communities in the Medieval West, eminent scholar Léopold Genicot offers a panoramic view of modern scholarship on the subject with important archival, archeological, and anthropological evidence.

Genicot explains the different paths by which—at the village level-the various agrarian economies arrived at the threshold of early modern times. He examines rural development in the medieval West from the perspectives of geography and economics, law and poli-tics, and religion and spirituality. Well-known for his study of the Namur region of his native Belgium, Genicot compares the results from that work to the recent conclusions of scholars writing on virtually every other region of medieval Europe.
