The volume collects the revised proceedings of a conference held in 1994 to discuss Robert Brenner's views on the “transition from feudalism to capitalism” in the Low Coun-tries c.1350–1550, a topic that was largely ignored by the original “Brenner debate” published in Past and Present between 1976 and 1982. The 1994 papers are topped and tailed by a substantial editorial introduction and by additional essays by the editors, Jan de Vries, and Brenner himself.
