A collection that celebrates the research of Margaret Spufford, a
"game-changing" historian who shifted the focus away from the
political and social elite in urban communities to the "other 98%"
in local and rural areas. This collection celebrates and evaluates
the seminal research of Margaret Spufford, a leading historian of
early modern English social and economic history. Spufford played a
crucial role in the broadening of English social and cultural
history, shifting the focus away from the political and social
elite in urban communities to the "other 98%" in local and rural
areas and challenging assumptions about the limited intellectual
worlds of rural people. She was also an early historian of
consumption patterns, whose work on the clothing trade remains the
authoritative history of this industry and its consumers. Faith,
Place and People in Early Modern England reassesses Spufford's
contribution to the shape of historical study. Each chapter
rethinks a key aspect of her work on local and rural communities:
the value of particular historical records; the interactions
between religious conformists anddissenters; social and religious
change; credit and finance; clothing and consumption. Throughout,
the contributors develop Spufford's model of integrating close
community studies into a broader picture, while retaining an
awareness of the singularity of individuals and localities. In
doing so, the book indicates how far "Spuffordian" approaches can
continue to shape the future direction of early modern history .
