• catalog abstract "Serfdom and Slavery explores the variety - and the continuities and common characteristics - of the two main forms of legal servitude known to history. The seventeen chapters range from classical times to the modern age, and from Europe to the New World, India and Africa. The theme is not, however, a pale excuse for an unfocused antiquarian rummage through odd corners of the historical past. The book is tightly controlled, with a series of wide-ranging conceptual and contextual chapters, followed by specific case studies which examine how the general issues raised in these chapters manifested themselves in practice in key cultures, and at key moments, in the emergence of "Western" society. Case studies examine the establishment of slavery in Ancient Greece; domestic slavery in Roman society; emancipation in Byzantium; attitudes towards serfdom in thirteenth- and fourteenth-century England; subject farmers in early modern Brandenburg-Prussia and Poland; the rural order in Tsarist Russia; and the emancipation of the Russian peasantry. There are also comparative studies of serfdom in medieval and modern Europe, of slave emancipations in modern times, and of slavery in the New and Old Worlds. The contributors (from Britain and America, with a welcome guest from St Petersburg) are highly distinguished; the contributions are rich with both information and insight; and the book as a whole makes an important contribution to our understanding of a subject which, even at the turn of a new millennium, is still far from being "just history."".
