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

Early Modern England: A Social History; 1550-1760.

Underlying this chapter is a concern, shared by many academic historians, about the lack of fit between what they do (or think they do) and what the public is offered by way of a view of the past through channels of information other than the academic monograph or the scholarly article.1 This concern is one that I feel especially as a working social historian whose perspective on the early modern period has been, and still is, informed by a ‘History from Below’ approach.2 I remain perplexed as to how English history of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, as it is portrayed in popular novels, in Simon Schama’s television series History of Britain, in movies even as avowedly modernistic as Shekhar Kapur’s Elizabeth (1998) and in anything by David Starkey, presents a view of the early modern English past which is certainly thematically, and probably ideologically, conservative. Since the 1960s, two or possibly by now three generations of social and cultural historians have opened up a totally new perspective on the history of early modern England.3 As far as those controlling most of the ways in which the public gain access to history are concerned, they need not have bothered. The public is fed warmed-over version after warmed-over version of the lives of Tudor monarchs, while the experiences of their subjects remain largely unexplored in non-academic history.

The Cinematic Treatment of Early Modern Witch Trials

Crime and Delinquency in an Essex Parish 1600–1640

Understanding Popular Violence in the English Revolution: The Colchester Plunderers The Politics of Social Conflict: The Peak Country, 1520–1770 John Walter

Triennial Act of 1694. John Walter has produced a book of a different kind. He has collected together six of his articles, which first appeared from 1980 to 2000. These have not been revised but they have been preceded by a thoughtful and significant introduction. Two of the essays are very well known. That on the rising in Oxfordshire in 1596, which was published in Past and Present twenty years ago but stands up well in its argument, evidence and conclusion. The other on the grain riots and popular attitudes to law in Maldon in the grain crisis of 1629 was included in a much-read symposium in 1980 and remains essential reading for those interested in debates over the ‘moral economy’, including those whose main concern is with the eighteenth century. The other included essays also first appeared in edited volumes. Of special interest are those on the political economy of dearth and a more recent and challenging analysis of the social impact of the English Civil War. It is not easy to review such a collection of previously published writings. A price in excess of £50 will deter some, but no one is forced to purchase it, and students can learn a good deal from Walter’s fine historical scholarship.
