This book offers the first survey of relations between town and country across Europe between the Black Death and the Enlightenment. Thirteen specially commissioned chapters give comprehensive coverage, from Spain to Sweden, and from the Polish Commonwealth to the Netherlands and Italy. Each chapter analyzes its country in the light of recent debates on state formation, urbanization, protoindustrialization, and the regional character of premodern economic growth. The Introduction discusses the historiographical and theoretical framework for systematic comparison, emphasizing how alternative political configurations could set countries on different paths to growth.

"This volume is one of the freshest and fullest treatments of scholarship about town and country relations in premodern European urban history, and deserves a wide and appreciative reading. This is shrewd economic history that details, complicates, and therefore advances our understanding of a central theme of urban history." Journal of Interdisciplinary History
"This is an important and thought-provoking collection..." Canadian Journal of History
