The World We Have Lost by Laslett Peter
This updated re-issue of the third edition has been able to take account of the enormous amount of research which has been published since the second enabling Peter Laslett to draw a much more detailed picture and reach fuller conclusions. The World We Have Lost is a pioneering work in a new field of enquiry - the study of family and class, kinship and community in England after the Middle Ages and before the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution. The book explores: *size and structure of families in pre-industrial England *the number and position of servants in different households *rates of migration *ability to read and write *the size and constituency of villages, cities and classes *conditions of work *social mobility. For all students of early modern history, this is a book that demands a place on their reading list.
`It will remain our classic guide to the lost world of the past, a tribute to one of the great pioneering imaginative historians of our time' - New Society
