Poverty and Piety in an English Village - Terling, 1525-1700 (Paperback, Revised Ed)

This classic study of a single community in early modern England has had a major influence on the interpretation of the period. The authors examine the interaction of demographic, economic, social, administrative, and cultural change on the villagers of Terling between 1525 and 1700. This revised edition has a new chapter which brings the discussion right up to date, addresses the debates occasioned by the first edition, defending, elaborating, and advancing its argument in the light of subsequent research.
