What Bloch? No little people?

While reading Bloch's Feudal Society, as some other postings indicate, there is next to nothing about the serfs and or the peasant class - or 80-90% of the people alive at this time.  Bloch does a outstanding job of bringing to life a forgone era of knights and royalty and how they lived eventful life's, but nothing for the common man.  What does this say about Bloch though? Was it deliberate on his part or was he writing to a specific group of people?

In my humble opinion he was a product of the tail end of the historian gentlemen.  While thoroughly trained in the ways of historical writings, we was never-the-less writing to a college educated crowd of readers - in particular men, as there is very little in the ways of the day to day lives of women in this work.  Bloch wanted to connect his readers to a age that perhaps maybe many of these well to do college students or older gentlemen could make familiar ties to. 

I enjoyed this work and I am very impressed with who detailed it was.  I was constantly looking up the names of various peoples and gothic tribes to learn about who they were and what part they had to play in this work.  Bloch's use of citations' also allowed me to further delve into the details and learn more.  A Oprah book club winner - no, but a staple of historical work, absolutely.
