Recensione

'... both an anatomy and a vivid evocation of a lost world of work ... This is a rich and rewarding book, firmly based on painstakingly collected and accessibly presented quantitative evidence, and displaying throughout a sustained effort to convey the texture of the lives behind the figures.' The Times Literary Supplement

Descrizione del libro

This study redresses the North and South imbalance of much work in economic and social history by focusing on the impact of the building trade. The period 1450–1750 witnessed substantial changes in agriculture, industry, and population. Using local archives, the author addresses conditions of work, wages, gender differences, and relationships with employers.
