This is an important new scholarly study of the roots of capitalism. Jane Whittle's
penetrating examination of rural England in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries
asks how capitalist it was, and how and why it changed over the century and a half
under scrutiny. Her book intelligently relates ideas of peasant society and capitalism
to a local study of north-east Norfolk, a county that was to become one of the crucibles
of the so-called agrarian revolution. Dr Whittle uses the rich variety of historical
sources produced by this precocious commercialized locality to examine a wide range
of topics from the manorial system and serfdom, rights to land and the level of rent,
the land market and inheritance, to the distribution of land and wealth, the numbers
of landless, wage-earners, and rural craftsmen, servants, and the labour laws.
