Dearth, Public Policy and Social Disturbance in England 1550–1800 - New Studies in Economic and Social History
Outhwaite, R. B. (University of Cambridge)
This concise survey for students examines the consequences of periods of dearth in England, in the years between 1550 and 1800. It reviews the enormous volume of literature that has been generated on the subject, explaining connections between serious harvest failure and a marked increase in rioting, and examines government responses to this.
