Anthony Randolph Bridbury (3 October 1924 in London- ) is a historian specialising in medieval economics. He wrote Economic Growth: England in the Later Middle Ages (1962) and a collection of his other writings was published in 1992. CareerEducated at Westminster School, Bridbury was later a student at the London School of Economics (LSE) and Christ Church, Oxford. He completed his PhD thesis on late medieval English salt imports at the LSE in 1952. He joined the staff in 1954 and was associated with the school and its economic history department until his retirement in 1989. Bridbury published Economic Growth: England in the Later Middle Ages in 1962. He was also the author of a series of articles on English economic history, ranging in focus from the Anglo-Saxon period to the 16th century, focusing on the history and evolution of the English manor.[1] Most of these articles appeared in the Economic History Review between 1969 and 1986 and became well known.[1] His collected studies were republished in book form by Boydell and Brewer in 1992. In addition to his work on medieval history, Bridbury published Historians and the Open Society in 1972. ReputationBridbury was a prominent English medievalist in the post-war period, writing on the pre-Norman period, Domesday Book and 14th and 15th century England.[3] He is best known for his interpretation of the English economy in the late 14th and 15th centuries in terms of fundamental buoyancy and resilience, although later in his career he moderated some of these claims.[1] Bridbury was described by the historian Mark Bailey as an "original, questioning, and provocative mind", typically hostile to systematic or ideological theories of the medieval period, whose strength was "to tweak the nose of anything resembling an orthodoxy".[2] Another medievalist, Richard Britnall, has remarked that Bridbury has the ability to "hit core problems, and in doing so helped to define them".[3] Criticism of Bridbury's work have focused around his use of primary research material and the suggestion that he has been excessively optimistic in his interpretation of the quality of daily life during the medieval period.[3][2][1] Selected works
