Features: This book discusses British society from the 5th to the 15th centuries, including its feudal organization, land system, legal system, political system, class structure, urban system, commodity economy, money, and credit, providing a relatively detailed analysis of British feudal society from the perspective of institutional history. The book's distinctive feature is its approach from the perspective of Chinese readers, tracing the roots of various institutions in the typical Western feudal society of Britain, pointing out their social and historical foundations and academic background. Furthermore, by using Chinese history as a reference, the book offers its own insights into British feudal society, debunking the myth that Western historical uniqueness determines its unique development, and striving to illustrate the unity of world historical development.
