Centred around the counties of South East England and rebelling against legislation to fix minimum wages it was driven by agricultural labourers and the urban working classes but quickly gathered momentum to encompass artisans villeins and the destitute. Although it lasted only a month before defeat it was a major turning point in early British history and was heralded by many historians as the emergence of British working - class consciousness and political activism. Rodney Hilton's superb account of these events remains a classic widely read and admired since its first publication. Locating the revolt in the context of European class conflict he argues that the peasant movements that disturbed the Middle Ages were not mere unrelated outbreaks of violence but had their roots in common economic and political conditions and in a recurring conflict of interest between peasants and landowners one that has endured through the ages. This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Phillipp R. Schofield.\u003cbr\u003e\nTitle: Bond Men Made Free Medieval Peasant Movements And The English Rising Of 1381\u003cbr\u003e\nAuthor(s): Hilton Rodney\u003cbr\u003e\nPublisher: Taylor \u0026amp; Francis Ltd\u003cbr\u003e\nBarcode: 9781032641898\u003cbr\u003e\nPages: 242 Pages\u003cbr\u003e\nPublication Date: 5\/1\/2024\u003cbr\u003e\nSeries: Routledge Classics\u003cbr\u003e\nCategory: Political Activism","brand":"Hilton Rodney","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49612085231921,"sku":"IN-G-9781032641898","price":28.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0644\/6759\/9594\/files\/9781032641898.jpg?v=1724590380","url":"https:\/\/bookdelivered.com\/products\/9781032641898-bond-men-made-free-medieval-peasant-movements-and-the-english-rising-of-1381","provider":"Book Delivered","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
