BIBLIOGRAPHIES FOR ECO 2210Y SEMINAR TOPICS: LONG FORMAT



Graduate Seminar on:


TOPICS ON THE ECONOMIC AND SOCIAL HISTORY OF LATER MEDIEVAL AND RENAISSANCE EUROPE, c.1200 - c.1600

Note: only the bibliographies for seminar topics offered in recent years are posted on this web-site.

note: Because I reached the age of 65 in March 2003, I was subjected to mandatory retirement, on 30 June 2003; and I will no longer be offering this course. I am, however, continuing to teach my two undergraduate courses in economic history, for perhaps three years: ECO 201Y and ECO 303Y. This department has no desire to finance a graduate course that attracted few Economics students (and, in the past, chiefly those from the Centre for Medieval Studies and the History Department). Therefore, I will probably not continue updating these bibliographies. You are thus advised to seek out the bibliographies for similar topics in my undergraduate course on late medieval and early modern European economic history: ECO 201Y1 , which bibliographies are also listed above, on this web page.

Bibliographies for the following topics are available in both short and long formats. The short format provides a one or two page listing of the more important readings, chiefly recent journal articles, the most important of which are indicated by asterisks; and it also contains a few major questions to guide you in your readings, seminar reports and class discussion, and/or in writing your research essays. The long format, which should be the preferred format for your research papers, provides a fairly complete list of all publications related to the topic: in monographs, journal articles, collections of essays, etc; and these listings are arranged by sub-topics, in the chronological order of their publication. The long format, which is the only version posted on this web-site, also contains a far more extensive list of questions; and most of them also contain published collections of documents (or other primary sources) and statistical tables. Statistical compilations will be considered a 'primary source' for the purpose of writing research essays. The short-format for each topic given this year will be provided (for free) as a print-out to all students registered in the course.

A further note on statistical tables in the following bibliographies: those that were constructed in Excel or Quattro Pro or recent versions of WordPerfect (i.e. versions 7, 8, or 9) are effectively reproduced in html format on this web site. Others (i.e. older tables) are not, however; and I shall try to reconstruct these tables in a modern computer format some time in the near future.



For most of these topics, students should also consult these more general dictionary/encyclopedia sources:
