Compiled by three of the era's most respected scholars — A.E. Bland, P.A. Brown, and the legendary R.H. Tawney — this authoritative anthology presents a carefully curated selection of primary source documents, from manorial records and guild regulations to parliamentary statutes and Poor Law reports, placing the reader directly in contact with the raw material of history.\n\nFar more than a dry compendium of texts, this collection argues implicitly but powerfully for the importance of reading history through its original voices, a methodology that Tawney, in particular, championed throughout his distinguished career. The documents are arranged to trace the great transformations of English economic life — the decline of feudalism, the rise of capitalism, the upheavals of enclosure and industrialisation — and each selection is enriched by editorial commentary that contextualises without overshadowing. A foundational text for students of economic and social history, it remains a compelling invitation to ask what patterns from England's past continue to echo in the present.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49203119685851,"sku":"2026200014545-SECONDHAND","price":12.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/239f451f-316f-4ceb-8190-e8481074ac16.png?v=1788144500","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014545-secondhand-english-economic-history-select-documents","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
