Feudalism in World History

A bibliographic checklist by Haines Brown, 1993
This is a checklist of books and articles on feudalism in world history prepared in 1993. Sections
are linked to entries in the table of contents. Corrections and additions to this list would be very
much appreciated (send to Haines Brown at brownh@hartford-hwp.com).
The user should be aware that because the compiler does not accept the Eurocentric empiricist
definition of feudalism, much material concerning what are presumed to be feudal institutions in
Europe is here omitted.
