description
This is a major study of the transformation of early modern English rural society. It begins by assessing the three major debates about the character of English society: the ‘Brenner Debate'; the debate over English Individualism; and the long running debate over the disappearance of the small landowner. It then turns to the history of Earls Colne in Essex, which has never before been the subject of a full-length study despite it being one of the most discussed villages in England. French and Hoyle's rounded account describes the arrival of a new landlord family, the Harlakendens, the tensions created by this change, and the gradual atrophy of their power. This account of change is backed up by a new and original analysis of landholding in the village, which depicts the land market in unprecedented detail, and explores the changing significance of landownership for ordinary people. It is a key work for all those interested in how English rural society changed between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries.

In this book, the authors test the theoretical perspectives of both Macfarlane and Robert Brenner and reach new conclusions about the character of English rural society and the role that land played in it. It asks fundamental questions about the ownership of land in early modern England and introduces a new methodology to examine these questions. In addition, it is also a fascinating study of a village with a resident gentry family, the Harlakendens. It shows that the attempts by these new lords to remould the village after 1580 alienated many, leading to a series of richly documented power struggles. Ultimately it demonstrates that the Harlakendens failed to stamp their mark on the community and their authority slowly ebbed away. In their place emerged an alternative power system dominated by copyholders and tenant farmers, who provide a rich gallery of village characters. Everyone who wishes to understand how England changed between 1550 and 1750 will need to read this book

This book uses a close and innovative study of a north Essex village to make a novel contribution to our knowledge of England between the sixteenth and eighteenth centuries. Earls Colne has been well known to historians as the parish of the seventeenth-century clerical diarist, Ralph Josselin, and was the subject of an extended research project by Alan Macfarlane in the early 1970s, which informed his study of English Individualism. Now, for the first time, Earls Colne is considered in the round with some surprising results
