Review
'This book succinctly covers a very wide range of source materials and case-studies and incorporates an extensive bibliography...essential introductory reading for undergraduates looking at early modern migration...' - Charles Rawding, Geography 'Every so often I read a book which will be truly useful to myself and my students - this is it. I will no longer have to teach basic theories of migration and I suspect that the students will hold a party to celebrate! The author should be commended.' - Steven King, Oxford Brookes University
Product Description
Migration is one of the most imprecise and difficult of all aspects of pre-industrial population to measure. It was a major element in economic and social change in early modern Britain, yet, despite a wealth of detailed research, there has been no systematic survey of its importance. This book reviews a wide range of aspects of population migration, and their impacts on British society, from Tudor times to the main phase of the Industrial Revolution.
