About this book
Villainage in England: Essays in English Mediaeval History is by Paul Vinogradoff. The preface says that a foreigner's attempt to treat of difficult and much disputed points of English history requires some justification, and asks why a Russian scholar should turn to the arduous study of English mediaeval documents. The preface also asks whether such a scholar can say anything of sufficient general interest to warrant an exploration of so distant a field.
A discussion of Palgrave's work says there can be no question as to the remarkable power displayed in it, or as to the value of his results. The discussion adds that Palgrave is as conspicuous for his arbitrary and fanciful treatment of his matter as for his learning and ingenuity. The text notes that the relation between the parts and the whole is obviously different under the system of labour services from what it was under the farm-system.
