Rodney Hilton (1916-2002) was Professor of Medieval Social History at the University of Birmingham, UK, and one of the leading medieval historians of his generation.

"Rodney Hilton's account of the Peasant's Revolt of 1381 remains the classic authoritative text on the 'English Rising'. Hilton views the revolt in the context of a general European pattern of the class conflict. He demonstrates that the peasant movements that disturbed the Middle Ages were not mere unrelated outbreaks of violence but had their roots in common economic and political conditions and in a recurring conflict of interest between peasants and landowners." "Now with a new introduction by Christopher Dyer, this survey will remain the leading source for students of medieval English peasantry."--BOOK JACKET.
