First published in 1975, this volume aims to direct attention at a
number of aspects of the lives and occupations of village labourers
in the nineteenth-century that have been little examined by
historians outside of agriculture. Some of the factors examined
include the labourer's gender, whether they lived in 'closed' or
'open' villages and what they worked at during the different
seasons of the year. The author examines a range of occupations
that have previously been ignored as too local to show up in
national statistics or too short-lived to rank as occupations at
all as well as sources of 'secondary' income. The analysis of all
of these factors in related to the seasonal cycle of field labour
and harvests. The central focus is on the cottage economy and the
manifold contrivances by which labouring families attempted to keep
themselves afloat.
