Though historians have come to acknowledge the mobility of rural
populations in early modern Europe, few books demonstrate the
intensity and importance of short-distance migrations as
definitively as Strangers and Neighbours. Marshalling an incredible
range of evidence that includes judicial records, tax records,
parish registers, and the census of 1796, Jeremy Hayhoe
reconstructs the migration profiles of more than 70,000 individuals
from eighteenth-century northern Burgundy. In this book, Hayhoe
paints a picture of a surprisingly mobile and dynamic rural
population. More than three quarters of villagers would move at
least once in their lifetime; most of those who moved would do so
more than once, in many cases staying only briefly in each
community. Combining statistical analysis with an extensive
discussion of witness depositions, he brings the experiences and
motivations of these many migrants to life, creating a virtuoso
reconceptualization of the rural demography of the ancien regime.
