This book is the first available survey of English agriculture between 1500 and 1850. It combines new evidence with recent findings from the specialist literature, to argue that the agricultural revolution took place in the century after 1750. Taking a broad view of agrarian change, the author begins with a description of sixteenth-century farming and an analysis of its regional structure. He then argues that the agricultural revolution consisted of two related transformations. The first was a transformation in output and productivity brought about by a complex set of changes in farming practice. The second was a transformation of the agrarian economy and society, including a series of related developments in marketing, landholding, field systems, property rights, enclosure and social relations. Written specifically for students, this book will be invaluable to anyone studying English economic and social history, or the history of agriculture.

This book is situated at the cross-roads of environmental, agricultural and economic history and climate science. It investigates the climatic background for the two most significant risk factors for life in the crisis-prone England of the Later Middle Ages: subsistence crisis and plague. Based on documentary data from eastern England, the late medieval growing season temperature is reconstructed and the late summer precipitation of that period indexed. Using these data, and drawing together various other regional (proxy) data and a wide variety of contemporary documentary sources, the impact of climatic variability and extremes on agriculture, society and health are assessed. Vulnerability and resilience changed over time: before the population loss in the Great Pestilence in the mid-fourteenth century meteorological factors contributing to subsistence crises were the main threat to the English people, after the arrival of Yersinia pestis it was the weather conditions that faciliated the formation of recurrent major plague outbreaks. Agriculture and harvest success in late medieval England were inextricably linked to both short term weather extremes and longer term climatic fluctuations. In this respect the climatic transition period in the Late Middle Ages (c. 1250-1450) is particularly important since the broadly favourable conditions for grain cultivation during the Medieval Climate Optimum gave way to the Little Ice Age, when agriculture was faced with many more challenges; the fourteenth century in particular was marked by high levels of climatic variability.

This is the first major study of English farming in the time of the "agricultural revolution" to be based on the actual records of farmers. These records shed new light on how farmers worked and what they produced. The authors show conclusively that an agricultural revolution did occur in the first half of the nineteenth century. - ;This is the first major study of English agriculture in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries to be based on the records of the farmer. Traditionally this was a period of 'agricultural revolution', but generations of historians have found it remarkably difficult to measure its salient characteristics. By bringing together a range of qualitative and quantitative data found in accounts, memoranda books, and diaries, Michael Turner, John Beckett, and Bethanie Afton are able to throw important new light on the way farmers worked, and to produce new estimates of the output of wheat, barley, and other arable crops, and of livestock. The evidence of the farmers' own records has enabled the authors to approach the agricultural history of the period in an entirely different light, and to show conclusively that the agricultural revolution can be located in the first half of the nineteenth century as the English farmer successfully fed a growing, predominantly urban population. - ;The book serves two valuable purposes. Firstly, it draws attention to the volume of information which can be gained from a source which has been too often dismissed as fragmentary and difficult to handle. Secondly, it offers a rather different perspective on farming from that derived from the more-readily-available records of the larger estates and helps to serve as a corrective to some of the more optimistic contemporary views on agricultural progress. - Southern History Society;A volume that ought to find its way on to the shelves of all those who are seriously interested in England's agricultural history, if only because of the splendid survey of recent writing on the subject which it contains ... The authors have given us here an excellent review of recent literature on their subject, and a few new interesting statistics to ponder. - English Historical Review;Michael Turner, John Beckett and Bethanie Afton are among the most prolific and talented historians of English agriculture. - The Agricultural History Review

Excerpt from The State as Farmer: Or the Future of Agriculture in England The result of the great war upon England as a food-producing area has been remarkable in its insignificance. Farming has caused a feeling of irritation rather than anxiety, and attention has been directed to labour much more than to volume of supply. Efforts have been made to apply more female labour to agriculture; and attempts, much less legitimate, to divert boys from school to the fields have been by some vociferously applauded and by others denounced. The really important question of the national food supply as affected by our home products has been almost ignored by Cabinet, Parliament, and newspaper alike.
