This is the first intensive study of an industrial community in
early modern England. Whickham, a village built on an underground
mountain of coal in north-east England, was arguably Britain's
first modern industrial society. David Levine and Keith Wrightson
employ the latest techniques of socio-historical research and make
full use of a wide variety of contemporary sources to explore many
aspects of life in Whickham between 1560 and 1765. They bring
together vital strands - including industrial development, agrarian
change, social stratification, demography, religion, work, leisure,
living standards, kinship and the family - to produce a rounded and
vivid picture, which throws into relief the achievements, benefits,
and costs of the complex process of industrialization. The
development of Whickham is set in the larger context of
socio-economic change during this period. This is a major
contribution to the history of early modern England.
