"By narrowing the geographic focus, and drawing heavily on the copious documentation from English manorial accounts, Slavin delves deeply into many of the myriad causes, outcomes, and impacts of the famine years. . . . Slavin offers a forceful example of how to consider famines as complex phenomena, involving multiple triggers, and filtered through the many institutions that give society its shape, not merely disasters brought on by climate or population." --Franklin-Lyons, Adam, The Medieval Review, 21.04.24
