Since early times, agriculture has been pivotal to England's
economy. This is the fifth in a magisterial seven-volume,
eight-piece compilation by the economist James E. Thorold Rogers
(1823-90), which represents the most complete record of produce
costs in England between the thirteenth and eighteenth centuries.
Drawing on a variety of sources including college archives and the
Public Record Office, Rogers documents the fluctuating prices of
commodities such as livestock, wheat, hay, wool, textiles and
labour in a time of great economic change, when the growing economy
of the early middle ages was shaken by famine and the Black Death,
and then gradually recovered towards the Agrarian Revolution. First
published in 1887, Volume 5 uses the data supplied in Volume 6 to
discuss the period from 1583 to 1702, exploring the costs of
traditional agricultural products as well as fuel and building
materials, transport, tenant farms, and changes in wages.
