Rethinking the Great Transition
Author: Peter L. Larson
Publisher: Oxford University Press
ISBN: 0192849875
Category : Communities
Languages : en
Pages : 240
Book Description
This case study of two rural parishes in County Durham, England, provides an alternate view on the economic development involved in the transition from medieval to modern, partly explaining England's rise to global economic dominance in the seventeenth century. Coal mining did not come to these parishes until the nineteenth century; these are an example of agrarian expansion. Low population, favourable seigniorial administration, and a commercialised society saw the emergence of large farms on the bishopric of Durham soon after the Black Death; these secure copyhold and leasehold tenures were among the earliest known in England. Individualism developed within a strong parish and village community that encouraged growth while enforcing conformity: tenants had freedom to farm as they wished, within limits. Along with low rents, this allowed for a swift expansion of agricultural production in the sixteenth century as population rose and then as the coal trade expanded rapidly. The prosperity of these men is reflected in their lands, livestock, and consumer goods. Yet not all shared in this prosperity, as the poor and landless increased in number simply by population growth. Through reformation and rebellion, these and other parishes prospered without experiencing severe disruption or destruction. In north-eastern England, agrarian development was an evolution and not a revolution. This study shows England's economic development as a single narrative, woven together from a collection of regional experiences at different times and at different speeds.

Poor Relief in England, 1350–1600
Author: Marjorie Keniston McIntosh
Publisher: Cambridge University Press
ISBN: 1139503650
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 391
Book Description
Between the mid-fourteenth century and the Poor Laws of 1598 and 1601, English poor relief moved toward a more coherent and comprehensive network of support. Marjorie McIntosh's study, the first to trace developments across that time span, focuses on three types of assistance: licensed begging and the solicitation of charitable alms; hospitals and almshouses for the bedridden and elderly; and the aid given by parishes. It explores changing conceptions of poverty and charity and altered roles for the church, state and private organizations in the provision of relief. The study highlights the creativity of local people in responding to poverty, cooperation between national levels of government, the problems of fraud and negligence, and mounting concern with proper supervision and accounting. This ground-breaking work challenges existing accounts of the Poor Laws, showing that they addressed problems with forms of aid already in use rather than creating a new system of relief.

The Prohibition Movement in California, 1848-1933
Author: Gilman Marston Ostrander
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Alcoholism
Languages : en
Pages : 584
Book Description
The situation caused by Prohibition steadily deteriorated. Californians increasingly came to believe that "the cure was worse than the disease." Prohibition didn't reduce drinking but simply made it much more dangerous to life and health. It didn't reduce crime but increased it. Prohibition didn't increase prosperity (except for bootleggers and organized criminals). It didn't improve public morality but directly led to its rapid deterioration. California initially supported Prohibition, but the Noble Experiment had created a Frankenstein. Californians voted over three-to-one for repeal
