Book Description
Through a series of sharply focused studies spanning three centuries, David Rollison explores the rise of capitalist manufacturing in the English countryside and the revolution in consciousness that accompanied it. Combining the empiricism of English historiography with the rationalism of Annales, and drawing on ideas from a wide range of disciplines, he argues that the explosive implications of the rise of rural industry created new social formations and altered the communal, cultural and social contexts of peoples lives. Using localized case studies of families and individuals the book starts with significant detail and moves out to build up a subtle and innovative view of English cultural identities in the early modern period.

Book Description
Excerpt from The Story of Gloucestershire The rapid exhaustion of an issue of two thousand copies of the First Edition of this little work is an indication that it achieves the two objects for which it was written. Those objects were (i) to give practical effect to the suggestion of the Education Committee of the County Councils' Association, that in our Elementary Schools lessons in geography should begin with the physical features of the district, and instruction in history should, so far as possible, begin with events associated with some local event or object and (2) to present the story of Gloucestershire as illustrative of the story of England: for, as Mr. F. A. Hye'i't says, in his valuable work, Gloucester in National History, if an interest in local history can be awakened, national history is often studied with greater pleasure, and to more advantage. In preparing a Second Edition I have availed myself of the opportunity to revise the form in which a few of the leading events in our county history are presented, and to correct a few errors which kindly critics have pointed out. I have also added an entirely new chapter, on The Making of Gloucestershire, in which an attempt is made to trace the stages through which the county came into being. As stated in the First Edition, the authorities consulted are far too numerous to mention, but it is only just to gratefully acknowledge my indebtedness for much information gleaned from the Transactions of the Bristol and Gloucestershire Archaeological Society.
