A landmark work in British economic history, Reformation to Industrial Revolution presents a sweeping account of Britain's economic and social transformation from the sixteenth to the late eighteenth century. Christopher Hill, one of the foremost Marxist historians of the twentieth century, argues that the period between the Reformation and the Industrial Revolution was shaped by profound shifts in class structure, agrarian capitalism, and the rise of mercantile power. The work chronicles the emergence of a modern capitalist economy in Britain, tracing the interplay of religious upheaval, political conflict, and economic change with authoritative precision. Hill illustrates how the English Revolution of the seventeenth century served as a pivotal turning point, accelerating the conditions that would ultimately give birth to industrial capitalism. Published as the second volume in the Pelican Economic History of Britain series, it remains an essential and incisive text for students of British and economic history alike.
