2è tome de la série "Histoire de la France urbaine" dirigée par Georges DUBY, volume dirigé par Jacques LE GOFF, en 3 parties: "Du début du Xe siècle au milieu du XIIe siècle, c'est la phase de genèse, d'ascension urbaine ["De la cité à la ville - 1000-1150" par André CHEDEVILLE]. Du milieu du XIIe siècle aux environs de 1330-1340, c'est l'apogée de la ville urbaine médiévale ["L'apogée de la France urbaine médiévale - 1150-1330" par Jacques LE GOFF]. Du milieu du XIVe au début du XVIe siècle, c'est une période à la fois de crise et de consolidation ["Crises et consolidations - 1330-1530" par Jacques ROSSIAUD]. Dans la première période, la ville se dégage du système domanial et, malgré la concurrence des châteaux et des monastères, remplace la cité. Dans la seconde elle s'épanouit dans le cadre seigneurial et monarchique, et dans la troisième elle se soumet au prince et à l'Etat mais devient le lieu du pouvoir et de la culture dominante. Subjuguée, déchirée, elle affirme son prestige et donne le ton" (in introduction de Jacques LE GOFF); index; bibliographie; riche iconographie (cartes, graphiques, plans, reproductions de gravures et peintures anciennes, photos). 1ère édition, reliée; exemplaire bien complet de sa jaquette (et non livre de poche).
