“…Studies of peasants and their environment fit well within a broader tendency in recent landscape history, which seeks to bring in closer attention to human experience alongside a traditional focus on physical aspects such as field systems, village desertion and survival, and settlement morphology. 39 In this work on human interactions with their material surroundings, traditional tools of landscape history such as place names and field names are brought together with other information bearing on place and identity, such as personal naming patterns. The leading light in this field is Susan Kilby, whose work (like that of others working on these themes) is inspired by ideas from cultural geography, landscape history and archaeology.…”

This article surveys a range of work on the later medieval English countryside published since 2000, and offers some predictions and suggestions about future research. It shows that the field of ‘rural history’ has rarely been closely defined, and indeed has tended to be treated as a broad church that can accommodate many different kinds of approach, themselves drawing on a variety of disciplinary traditions. The article identifies and discusses recent and current innovation and creativity in research within two such broad approaches, one mainly ‘economic’, the other ‘cultural’. It concludes by arguing for the gains that can be enjoyed through the combination of elements of the two approaches, and especially through a renewed emphasis on the illumination of the general through an intensive focus on the local.
