The Domesday Book was a survey of England completed in 1086 for William the Conqueror. Maitland’s 1897 overview of feudal life, The Doomsday Book and Beyond, was called the greatest single book on English medieval history by Professor J. C. Holt. It influenced a century of scholarship. In addition to the title essay, this book includes “England Before the Conquest” and “The Hide.”
