Reviews
Her proposition is an intriguing and important one and it introduces fresh new ideas into the discussion of how society evolved over the long duree that we call the medieval period. * SALON, the Newsletter of the Society of Antiquaries of London * This is an excellent book which is a valuable addition to the literature investigating the history and development of land use in the early medieval period ... the book not only investigates a theme rarely discussed fully elsewhere but also offers a useful exposition of current ideas about land use development in early medieval England. -- Della Hooke, The University of Birmingham, UK * Landscape History * This book joins a series of recent studies that have sought to explore the origins of landscapes characterized by open fields, and in particular asked why they became the dominant form of land management in England's `central provincebut not elsewhere
. . . Overall, this book presents a novel hypothesis. -- Stephen Rippon, University of Exeter * Agricultural History Review * Displays a bold sweep of imagination and a deep engagement with the evidence. [The author] provides plenty of opportunities for further fruitful discussion of the economic and social history of the long eighth century. This is an important contribution to the study of this period. -- Michael D. Costen, University of Bristol, UK * The Economic History Review * A useful contribution to long-running debates about the origins of early medieval agrarian systems across southern England -- Nicholas Higham, University of Manchester, UK * Early Medieval Europe journal * In this nicely provocative contribution, Susan Oosthuizen asks for another rethinking of early medieval England. * The Society for Medieval Archaeology *
