Although this volume was somewhat more difficult to follow, it is well worth the effort since it is the best overview of the Middle Ages I have found so far. I strongly recommend this book but want to warn people that the e-book has numerous irritating editorial errors. The e-book is also missing the maps referred to in the book. ( ) The title of this second volume indicates that it deals with social classes and political organization, but I think it's stronger on the former topic than the latter. I was looking forward to reading about medieval government in this work, but the author doesn't penetrate this topic in a useful way. I'm sure this still counts as a foundational work in general medieval history, but students of political history will probably find more value in Walter Ullmann's books, which are specifically devoted to questions of government. nessuna recensione | aggiungi una recensione

Feudal Society is the masterpiece of one of the greatest historians of the century. Marc Bloch's supreme achievement was to recreate the vivid and complex world of Western Europe from the ninth to the thirteenth centuries. For Bloch history was a living organism, and to write of it was an endless process of creative evolution and of growing understanding. The author treats feudalism as a vitalising force in European society. He surveys the social and economic conditions in which feudalism developed; he sees the structures of kinship which underlay the formal relationships of vassal and overlord. For Bloch these relationships are mutual as much as coercive, the product of a dangerous and uncertain world. His insights into the lives of the nobility and the clergy and his deep understanding of the processes at work in medieval Europe, are profound and memorable.
