Book Description

The English poll taxes of 1377, 1379, and 1381 taxed householders, wives, dependents, and servants individually. The tax records therefore provide information about people who are rarely, if ever, mentioned in other documents. This massive resource is being published in three volumes.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"...this is going to be both a compelling addition to the current literature on this experiment in late-medieval English taxation and an indispensable reference work for historians working in a wide range of topics, to be put side by side with the British Academy series' earlier edition of the early-fourteenth-century lay subsidy returns....It is a very impressive accomplishment."--The Medieval Review
