Tehmina Durrani's Heart Wrenching Story
This book is about Tehmina Durrani's life as an oppressed wife of a feudal lord, and politician in Pakistan. My Feudal Lord covers her adult life from 1974 to 1994.

Jeeves and the Feudal Spirit

P. G. Wodehouse

Overlook Hardcover, 2002

Hilarity for Anglophiles
P.G. Wodehouse writes in a Dave Barry meets Agatha Christie style which makes you laugh out loud. P.G. Wodehouse was Agatha Christie's favourite author for a good reason. He gives you a visit to England in 1930 (or thereabouts) and plots with every twist you can imagine. In this one, Bertie, the upperclass twit, gets himself into the usual fix, and Jeeves finds a way out. The plot carries you ...

Jewish Princedom in Feudal France, 768-900 (Study in Jewish History)

5 reviews
Arthur J. Zuckerman

Columbia University Press, 1972

Count Guillaume d'Orange
This book should be read by everyone interested in Medieval French History and/or the "chansons de geste". It solves the scholarly mystery of why Charlemagne, a strictly Christian/Roman Catholic monarch, had such a good relationship with the Jews of the Carolingian Empire to the continuing fulminations of the ecclesiastical authorities. The author uses sources not generally referred to by ...

The Ancient Constitution and the Feudal Law: A Study of English Historical Thought in the Seventeenth Century
J. G. A. Pocock

Cambridge University Press, 1987

Professor Pocock's subject is how the seventeenth century looked at its own past. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, one of the most important modes of studying the past was the study of the law - the historical outlook which arose in each nation was in part the product of its law, and therefore, in turn of its history. In clarifying the relation of the historical outlook of seventeenth-century Englishmen to the study of law, and ...

Feudal Society: Vol 1: The Growth and Ties of Dependence
Marc Bloch

Routledge, 1989

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 ...

Feudal Society: Vol 2: Social Classes and Political Organisation

Marc Bloch

Routledge, 1989

Ian Myles Slater on: A Modern Classic, Not Yet Out-Moded
I suppose I should be of two minds about Marc Bloch's "Feudal Society," a French work from the late 1930s which became available in English in the early 1960s, and was still fresh and exciting back when I was taking a freshman course on "Western Civilization." In theory, the book (and it is one book, although published in paperback in two volumes) has two major drawbacks. In practice, I find it ...

1 review
John Z. Bowers

The Johns Hopkins University Press, 1970

Excellent book
This book profiles and explores the lives of four doctors who helped advance the medical practices of the Japanese during the Tokugawa shoganate's regime. It explains the the obstacles of teaching in a closed society and Japanese reverence for health and medicine. This is a wonderful resource and an interesting read.

The Rusted Hauberk: Feudal Ideals of Order and Their Decline

University Press of Florida, 1994

The rusted hauberk, a chain mail tunic, metaphorically shapes and unifies this investigation of feudalism and medieval culture. Ideas of a fixed historical construct are challenged, the authors emphasise instead that all constructs should be elastic, to allow historical perspectives to expand.

Contemporary Russia as a Feudal Society: A New Perspective on the Post-Soviet Era
Vladimir Shlapentokh

Palgrave Macmillan, 2007

The book offers a theoretical discussion of the feudal model and a preliminary application of the model to post-Soviet Russia. In addition to a review of the feudal model as an ideal type, the author explains the analytical benefits of drawing comparisons between countries and across historical contexts. Specifically, contemporary Russia is compared to Western European countries during the Middle Ages and to the Soviet period in Russian ...

DIVINE FEUDAL LAW, THE (Natural Law Cloth)
SAMUEL PUFENDORF

Liberty Fund Inc., 2002

Based on his theory of natural law, Pufendorf denounces the Revocation [of the Edict of Nantes in 1685] as an illegitimate and tyrannical act and advocates toleration. 'The Divine Feudal Law' can be seen as a complement to the treatise on toleration . Pufendorf attempts to demonstrate in 'The Divine Feudal Law' that union of Lutherans and Calvinists is possible on the basis of a theological system containing the fundamental articles necessary ...

The Making of Feudal Agricultures? (Transformation of the Roman World) (Transformation of the Roman World)

Brill Academic Publishers, 2004

Was there a discernible set of changes in the techniques of arable farming, animal husbandry and their associated technologies at the end of antiquity which marked a clear break with an established 'ancient world economy' and ushered in the 'new agricultures' of the early middle ages? Were such changes not already visible in antiquity? And what was the impact of political, economic, social and environmental change in these processes? The 6 ...
