English rural society underwent fundamental changes between the
thirteenth and eighteenth centuries with urbanization,
commercialization and industrialization producing new challenges
and opportunities for inhabitants of rural communities. However,
our understanding of this period has been shaped by the
compartmentalization of history into medieval and early-modern
specialisms and by the debates surrounding the transition from
feudalism to capitalism and landlord-tenant relations. Inspired by
the classic works of Tawney and Postan, this collection of essays
examines their relevance to historians today, distinguishing
between their contrasting approaches to the pre-industrial economy
and exploring the development of agriculture and rural industry;
changes in land and property rights; and competition over resources
in the English countryside.
