Microhistories: Demography, Society and Culture in Rural England,
1800-1930 uses a local study of the Blean area of Kent in the
nineteenth and early twentieth centuries to explore some of the
more significant societal changes of the modern western world.
Drawing on a wide range of research techniques, including family
reconstitution and oral history, Barry Reay aims to show that the
implication of the micro-study can range way beyond its modest
geographical and historical boundaries. Combining cultural,
demographic, economic, and social history in a way rarely
encountered in historical literature, Professor Reay examines a
range of topics including marriage and fertility, health and
mortality, the work of women and children, and illegitimacy and
sexuality. This 1996 book demonstrates the challenging potentials
of microhistory, and makes a central contribution to the 'new rural
history'. It will be of interest to family and oral historians, as
well as to demographers and sociologists.
