Excerpt from Oxford Studies in Social and Legal History, Vol. 2 The two monographs of the present volume bear on the history of English manorial institutions. Mr. Stenton has examined in detail the evidence as to the different types of manorial structure in the Counties of the Northern Danelaw - York, Derby, Nottingham, Lei cester, Lincoln, and Rutland. Domesday book entries form, of course, his principal material, but he has also used for comparison charters of the anglo-danish period, as far as they were available, and has supplied some valuable observations based on his study of early twelfth-century documents. His results enable us to form a more definite View of the contrasts of terminology, of institutional and of economic development between the region colonized by Danes and the South and West of England, which had arrived by the eleventh century to a much more com plete and uniform arrangement of society on feudal lines. In this way the phenomena of the 'growth of the Manor are presented once more in a strong light. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
