medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
Dear Timothy,
    A study which may interest you and which covers several centuries of early modern peasant society is that of Piero Camporesi - "Il Pane Selvaggio" - available in English under the title "Bread of Dreams", Polity Press, 1989.  Camporesi's work focusses primarily, but not exclusively, on Italy and deals with such subject matter as bread, famine, hallucination, fantasy.
