The population of England grew steeply in the Middle Ages, especially between the tenth and thirteenth centuries. This volume investigates how medieval farmers managed to produce the large harvests needed to sustain this growth, growth that in turn fuelled a major expansion of towns and markets. New evidence is presented for the development of the medieval farming regimes that shaped the English landscape in ways still visible today. Medieval farming is a contentious topic, not least because of the different approaches taken by historians, archaeologists and geographers and no consensus has been reached about the cultivation regimes that underpinned medieval cereal production. This volume presents a new perspective on this question, based on the results of a project that analysed the remains of medieval crops, arable weeds, livestock and pollen from hundreds of excavations. The new evidence that this generated reveals the conditions in which medieval crops were grown and how land use changed between the late Roman period and the Black Death. The authors relate the results to archaeological and written evidence for farms and farming, bringing an ecological perspective to the debate about the so-called medieval 'agricultural revolution'. The 'cerealisation' of England emerges as a regionally varied process lasting several centuries, whose overall impact was nevertheless revolutionary.

The Commodity Culture of Victorian England
London's Great Exhibition of 1851 was based on a single, far-reaching conception: that all human life and cultural endeavour could be represented by exhibiting manufactured articles. The 'great exhibition of things' inaugurated a way of seeing that made an indelible mark on Victorian England and fashioned an enduring ideology of consumerism. This was the first world fair, the first department store, the first shopping mall: it heralded the triumph of the commodity as the focal point of everyday life and the dead centre of the modern world.In this pioneering book, Thomas Richards reveals the ways in which capitalism produced and sustained a culture of its own in the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Drawing in particular on the work of Guy Debord, Richards examines the birth of the commodity and the origins of advertising. He shows that the cultural forms of consumerism came into being long before the consumer economy itself, and argues that those forms have left vivid traces in the commodity culture of the present. Lucidly written and carefully grounded in analyses of individual advertisements and campaigns, this is a powerful account of the fateful conjunction of spectacle and capitalism; of a world produced, distributed and consumed, a world still too much with us.

Samantha Ranvali can't sleep. Haunted by nightmares and the memory of a man who attacked her years ago, she seeks a cure for her insomnia through an experimental study called "Endymion's Circle." The treatment seems to be a success, but after her first full night of sleep in months, Samantha learns that one of the other participants in the study has been murdered. The body is found crucified upside down, and a recording of J. S. Bach's "Goldberg Variations" plays at the scene. As an old lover investigates the crime, he draws Samantha into a mystery that spans over two hundred years and suggests something far more sinister than the police expect. And with each night of Samantha's newfound sleep, she awakens to another ritualistic crime. Every clue takes her deeper into her own past, her own history of loss, pain, and desperation. Every murder reveals that a dark curse has taken hold of her world. And every clue brings her closer to the revelation that she is the next victim. Here is stunning suspense that plays masterfully with the conventions of the genre and perfectly blends historical richness with modern-day terror.
