Description
The first volume of The Cambridge Urban History of Britain surveys the history of British towns from their post-Roman origins in the seventh century down to the sixteenth century.
It provides the first ever detailed overview of the course of medieval urban development, and draws on archaeological and architectural as well as historical sources.
The volume combines thematic analysis with regional and national surveys, with full coverage of developments in England, Scotland and Wales.
The international team of contributors represent historical, geographical and archaeological expertise, and the whole marks a major step forward in the understanding of the medieval British town.
Part I examines historiographical tradition and the origins of British towns.
Parts II and III focus on the early and later medieval periods respectively, and Part IV contains a sequence of systematic regional surveys.
Extensively illustrated, the volume also contains ranking lists of towns and an extensive bibliography.
