The Peasantries Of Europe - From The Fourteenth To The Eighteenth Centuries

The Peasantries of Europe – From the Fourteenth to the Eighteenth Centuries
by Tom Scott (Longmans, 1998)
Sold by Crappy Old Books – where the spines creak and the history’s real.

Crack open this scholarly beast and discover a Europe where pitchforks were mightier than parchment, and the line between feudal lord and angry mob was one bad harvest away. Tom Scott dives deep into four centuries of rural resistance, hardship, resilience, and slow-burn social change. From German serfs to French métayers and beyond, this book doesn’t romanticize—it excavates.

Dusty but not dull, this is the definitive guide to the folks who actually did the work while the kings got the credit. Ideal for history buffs, disillusioned idealists, and anyone who prefers their social movements muddy and underfed.

Yes, the cover’s a bit battered. No, it won’t change your life overnight. But it might just change how you see 400 years of European history.

Condition like new.
