Neo-Serfdom in Poland-Lithuania

摘要

The purpose of the present article is neither to examine in detail the state of research regarding demesne- robot farming and the “neo-serfdom” or “second serfdom” in Poland-Lithuania nor to attempt a definitive explanation of these phenomena. Rather, the author has set out to show the inadequacy of conventional views by reiterating a series of important points already raised by various Polish historians.
