Christopher Dyer

Making a Living in the Middle Ages: The People of Britain, 850-1520

Yale University Press, 2002. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Fine. 9780300090604 Clean unmarked pages; slight bumping to top rear corner of jacket. A bright, well-kept copy. In his masterly new book, Christopher Dyer reviews our thinking about the economy of Britain in the middles ages. In analysing economic development and change, he allows us to reconstruct, often vividly, the daily lives and experiences of people in the past. The period covered here (850-1520) saw dramatic alterations in the state of the economy, and this account begins with the forming of villages, towns, networks of exchange and the social hierarchy in the ninth and tenth centuries, and ends with the inflation, population rise, and colonial expansion of the sixteenth century. This is a book about ideas and attitudes as well as the material world, and Dyer shows how people regarded the economy and how they responded to economic change. 406 pages. Quantity Available: 1.

Doreen Evenden

The Midwives of Seventeenth-Century London

Cambridge University Press, 2000. Hardcover. Fine Condition/Very Good. 9780521661072 Clean unmarked pages, firmly bound; some scraping to rear side edge of jacket.This book is a comprehensive and detailed study of early modern midwives in seventeenth-century London. Until quite recently, midwives, as a group, have been dismissed by historians as being inadequately educated and trained for the task of child delivery. The Midwives of Seventeenth-Century London rejects these claims by exploring the midwives' training and their licensing in an unofficial apprenticeship by the Church. Dr Evenden also offers an accurate depiction of the midwives in their socioeconomic context by examining a wide range of seventeenth-century sources. This expansive study not only recovers the names of almost one thousand women who worked as midwives in the twelve London parishes, but also brings to light details about their spouses, their families and their associates. 280 pages.

Philanthropy and Voluntary Action in the First World War: Mobilizing Charity

Routledge, 2014. Hardcover. Very Good Condition. 9780415704946 Inscription to previous owner written on flyleaf, pages otherwise clean and unmarked. This book challenges scholarship which presents charity and voluntary activity during World War I as marking a downturn from the high point of the late Victorian period. Charitable donations rose to an all-time peak, and the scope and nature of charitable work shifted decisively. Far more working class activists, especially women, became involved, although there were significant differences between the suburban south and industrial north of England and Scotland. The book also corrects the idea that charitably-minded civilians’ efforts alienated the men at the front, in contrast to the degree of negativity that surrounds much previous work on voluntary action in this period. 270 pages.
