Why did the industrial revolution take place in eighteenth-century Britain and not elsewhere in Europe or Asia? In this convincing new account Robert Allen argues that the British industrial revolution was a successful response to the global economy of the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. He shows that in Britain wages were high and capital and energy cheap in comparison to other countries in Europe and Asia. As a result, the breakthrough technologies of the industrial revolution - the steam engine, the cotton mill, and the substitution of coal for wood in metal production - were uniquely profitable to invent and use in Britain. The high wage economy of pre-industrial Britain also fostered industrial development since more people could afford schooling and apprenticeships. It was only when British engineers made these new technologies more cost-effective during the nineteenth century that the industrial revolution would spread around the world.

The British Industrial Revolution in Global Perspective

The study comprises an analysis of processes of psychological change among participants at an environmental protest. A participant observation study found evidence of a radicalized self concept among a number of crowd members, and indicates a link between radicalization, an asymmetry of categorical representations between protesters and the police, and the subsequent interaction premised on these divergent representations. The analysis supports an elaborated social identity model of crowd behaviour (Reicher, 1996, 1997a, 1997b; Stott & Reicher, 1998). It is argued that, in order to account for both social determination and social change in collective behaviour, it is necessary to analyse crowd events as developing interactions between groups. Where crowd members hold a different understanding of their social position to that held by an out-group (e.g. the police) and where the out-group has the power to treat crowd members in terms of its understandings, then those members who act on the basis of one understanding of their social relations find themselves in an unexpected and novel set of social relations. This then provides the basis for a series of changes, including the self-understanding of crowd members.

Enlightenment: Britain and the Creation of the Modern World

Research on the history of crime from the thirteenth century until the end of the twentieth has burgeoned and has greatly increased understanding of historical trends in crime and crime control. Serious interpersonal violence decreased remarkably in Europe between the mid-sixteenth and the early twentieth centuries. Different long-term trajectories in the decline of homicide can be distinguished between various European regions. Age and sex patterns in serious violent offending, however, have changed very little over several centuries. The long-term decline in homicide rates seems to go along with a disproportionate decline in elite homicide and a drop in male-to-male conflicts in public space. A range of theoretical explanations for the longterm decline have been offered, including the effects of the civilizing process, strengthening state powers, the Protestant Reformation, and modern individualism, but most theorizing has been post hoc. ‘‘Symonet Spinelli, Agnes his mistress and Geoffrey Bereman were together in Geoffrey’s house when a quarrel broke out among them; Symonet left the house and returned later the same day with Richard Russel his Servant to the house of Godfrey le Gorger, where he found Geoffrey; a quarrel arose and Richard and Symonet killed Geoffrey’’ (Weinbaum 1976, p. 219). This is an entry in the plea roll of the eyre court held in London in 1278. The eyre was a panel of royal justices empowered to judge all felonies and required to inquire into all homicides that had occurred since the last eyre (Given 1977). The story is

Long-Term Historical Trends in Violent Crime

Instruments of darkness : witchcraft in early modern England

Authority in early modern England ran along various channels, and operated within a spectrum of spheres of concern. At one end of that spectrum lay the authority most familiar to the historian and the general reader, the authority of the monarch and central government. At the other, lay that bundle of social norms and conventions, often imperfectly grasped and articulated by contemporaries, which constituted, in the broad sense of the term, the ‘authority’ within which people lived their everyday community and family lives. In between these there lay a number of webs of authority. Some, like the authority inherent in the social structure, have been much studied by historians as they have attempted to reconstruct social hierarchies or analyse languages of social description. Others, like the authority which structured gender relations, have come to attract considerable attention from historians over the last few years. Yet others, like the problems of authority implicit in the relationships between different age groups which form the background to this chapter, although now the subject of an important new book by Paul Griffiths, have been little studied hitherto.1 This is odd, since, even when due allowances are made for the stereotyped social complaint of contemporary didactic literature, it is evident that concern over the age hierarchy, over the problems of maintaining appropriate behaviour in different age groups, and of ensuring the authority of older people over younger ones were all firmly embedded in Tudor and Stuart social comment.

Cet article tente de relancer le probleme pourquoi, dans les proces de sorcellerie, tant d'accusations sont portees contre les femmes. Cette connexion sur laquelle notre attention fut vigoureusement attiree par les auteurs du mouvement feministe des annees '70, a connu de nombreuses interpretations. Le but de l'article est un examen du probleme ‘du bas’, par l'utilisation de temoignages tires d'un echantillon de dossiers de proces qui donnent des details sur les accusations dans le Yorkshire pendant le 17e siecle. L'argument majeur est que, meme si le regime patriarcal de l'epoque livre un contexte pour les accusations et la croyance e la sorcellerie bon nombre de ces accusations de sorcellerie naissent de la friction entre femmes et se rapportent specifiquement ou globalement a des problemes feminins, tels l'aire sociale de la femme, son pouvoir et les tensions et jalousies qui se creent e propos de l'education des enfants.

Witchcraft and women in seventeenth-century England: some Northern evidence

This article examines evidence relating to witchcraft beliefs and official attitudes to witchcraft in the Isle of Man during the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries. It is based mainly on court records, and above all those of the Manx ecclesiastical courts. It demonstrates that there was a rich popular culture relating to witchcraft on the island, with a number of individualistic features. It places Manx witchcraft beliefs in relation to two other phenomena that were central to the island's popular culture: fairy beliefs and the belief in the efficacy of the curse. It also demonstrates that the island's authorities maintained a relatively low-keyed approach to witchcraft (only two people are known to have been executed as witches in the island), treating it as a sign of popular ignorance and a regrettable source of neighbourly disputes rather than as a satanic heresy.
