Other studies explore the cultural dimensions of credit in northern Europe during late Medieval and early modern times, but the historians here focus on the nature of credit, its form and structure, and the economic and social impact of credit and its changing availability in rural areas. The topics include the variety and significance of credit in rural Flanders about 1250-1600, credit and agriculture in the Netherlands in the 18th and 19th centuries, peasants and contract in 13th-century eastern England, credit and land in 18th-century France, and urban capital and agrarian reforms in 19th-century Westphalia. The 10 essays are from a conference at Ghent in the spring of 2003. They are not indexed. Distributed in North America by The David Brown Book Co.
