Description

This book investigates a gap in Italian historiography by examining rural rather than city communes. Wickham's discussion of a group of villages around Lucca is the first detailed study of the origin of organized village communities in Italy to appear in over 70 years. It shows how the 12th-century social and political structures of the countryside ran alongside those of the city.

Reviews

"Wickham...offers an acute discussion of previous scholarship on the subject and an extensive and updated bibliography."--Choice
