This book retraces the nature and role of credit in the
pre-industrial European countryside. As part of an ongoing
examination of credit and its provision in European past societies,
the nine papers collected in this volume offer further insight into
the ways in which credit was provided and managed, as well as the
opportunities which credit may or may not have presented in
effecting economic and social change between c. 1200 and c. 1850.
In these respects, the papers in this volume add to a developing
investigation of the history of credit and of indebtedness in
northern Europe, which also coincides with a continued interest in
the structures of credit evident in studies of southern European
societies. The present volume also, for a broad North Sea region,
develops a concentration upon the economic and social history of
credit from the late medieval period to the early nineteenth
century. The themes here are deliberately focused on the nature of
credit, its form and structure, as well as upon the economic and
social impact of credit and the changing availability of the
same.
