摘要

This collection of twelve essays focuses on the history of canals in early medieval England. Half of them expound on the technology of canal building and describe physical remains, and the other half are concerned with the general economic picture. It is a truly interdisciplinary project where historians and archaeologists, and even a geomorphologist, contribute material that is often but not necessarily mutually supporting. Most essays focus on a small region, but the thorough introduction by John Blair provides the links to enable readers to see the bigger picture and to understand how scholarship progressed in the field. Earlier research focusing on the central Middle Ages was concerned with improvements in roads, bridges, and haulage, while suggesting that investment was drawn away from the improvement of watercourses. Blair's volume presents evidence that the period 950-1250 was actually a dynamic era in the history of English water transport.
