Durant els segles XIII i XIV Catalunya creix. És l'època de les conquestes de Mallorca i València i la incorporació de Sicília i Sardenya. Aquesta expansió va acompanyada de noves rutes comercials i un augment de la natalitat. La bona salut de la població catalana contribueix a la formació de l'entitat sociolingüística dels Països Catalans. Aquest llibre descriu l'evolució política des de Jaume I fins a Jaume II i les millores socials que va experimentar la societat catalana al final de l'edat mitjana.
