Over the past thirty five years population history has been one of
the most important growth areas within the flourishing field of
social and economic history. Our understanding of demographic
history in the period before the Industrial Revolution has been
transformed. The amount of literature which has been produced is
daunting both in its volume and its complexity. In this concise
volume for students Dr Houston reviews the literature and explains
the different population trends evident in parts of Britain and
Ireland. He sets out the sometimes complex interactions between
fertility, nuptiality, morality and migration in a clear and
comprehensible way, and explains why the mechanisms which balanced
population and resources in England were not found in Scotland and
Ireland.
