Product Description
This regional study examines the declining fortunes of a craft town on the Upper Rhine from 1450 to 1530, in the context of its relations with the country communities around it. In the debate on the transition between feudalism and capitalism in this period, rival interpretations have focused on town and country in isolation from each other. Tom Scott has used the techniques of historical and economic geography to examine them as a totality, consciously writing regional history, but also contributing to the wider history and theory of revolution as he extends these techniques to analyse popular protest.

Editorial Reviews
Review
"Scott has few equals as an expert on the economic and social facts of rural and urban life in southwestern Germany in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries....An impressive achievement."--American Historical Review
"A regional study that transcends its declared scope....Important and interesting are his findings on the impact of the Reformation and the Peasants' War, which put in doubt some of the widely held views on the subject."--Choice
