Since early times, agriculture has been pivotal to England's
economy. This is the seventh 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 1902 (completed and edited by Rogers' son), this
two-part volume presents in Part 1 data from 1703 to 1793, showing
the prices of a range of products; Part 2 consists of further
documents collected by Rogers for the work.
