Jane Whittle's examination of rural England in the 15th and 16th
centuries asks how capitalist it was, and how and why it changed
over the century and a half under scrutiny. Her book relates ideas
of peasant society and capitalism to a local study of north-east
Norfolk, a county that was to become one of the crucibles of the
so-called agrarian revolution. Dr Whittle uses the rich variety of
historical sources produced by this precocious commercialized
locality to examine a wide range of topics from the manorial system
and serfdom, rights to land and the level of rent, the land market
and inheritance, to the distribution of land and wealth, the
numbers of landless, wage-earners, and rural craftsmen, servants,
and the labour laws.
