Items related to Eighteenth-Century English Society: Shuttles and Swords...
The period from 1688-1820 was marked throughout with riots and rebellions, seditions and strikes, as the lower classes rebelled against the state bias towards the interests of higher social groups. Drawing on recent work on demography, labor, and law, this readable history of the period focuses on the experience of the eighty percent of the population who made up England's "lower orders." Hay and Rogers provide fresh insights into food shortages, changes in poor relief, use of the criminal law, and the shifts in social power caused by industrialization that would bring about the birth of working-class radicalism.

Review:
"This text worked well for students who had little prior knowledge of the subject. It combines factual information and vivid description in a way that is useful and holds students' interest. The authors' strongly stated interpretation of power relations in 18th-century English society stimulated fruitful discussion in the classroom."--Marilyn Morris, University of North Texas
"Eighteenth-Century English Society has a clear and well thought-out argument based on great scholarly knowledge of the period, is written in an accessible style, and includes a helpful appendix of maps and charts as well as a short annotated bibliography for each chapter."--Albion
