A Country Merchant, 1495-1520: Trading and Farming at the End of the Middle Ages by Christopher Dyer
Requirements: .PDF reader, 2.5 MB
Overview: Around 1500 England’s society and economy had reached a turning point. After a long period of slow change and even stagnation, an age of innovation and initiative was in motion, with enclosure, voyages of discovery, and new technologies. It was an age of fierce controversy, in which the government was fearful of beggars and wary of rebellions. The ‘commonwealth’ writers such as Thomas More were sharply critical of the greed of profit hungry landlords who dispossessed the poor. This book is about a wool merchant and large scale farmer who epitomises in many ways the spirit of the period.
