Description
Migration is the most imprecise and difficult of all aspects of pre-industrial population to measure. It was a major element in economic and social change in early modern Britain, yet, despite a wealth of detailed research in recent years, there has been no systematic survey of its importance. This book reviews a wide range of aspects of population migration, and their impacts on British society, from Tudor times to the main phase of the Industrial Revolution.
Table of Contents
Introduction: The Significance of Migration in Early-Modern British Society.- Pre-Industrial Migration: Theories, Techniques and Sources.- Mobility and Migration in the Countryside.- Migration to the Towns.- Emigration.- Migration and Industrialization.- References.- Bibliography.- Index.
