Description

The village labourer, 1760-1832 is a classic book written by Barbara Bradby Hammond. Published in 1911, this book analyzes the conditions and lives of the rural working class in England during the late 18th and early 19th centuries. Hammond explores various aspects of village life, including agriculture, housing, wages, and social changes that occurred during this time period.

Using a combination of quantitative data and anecdotal evidence, Hammond presents a detailed and comprehensive picture of the daily struggles and hardships faced by the village labourers. She also highlights the changes brought about by the Industrial Revolution, such as the enclosure movement, the transition from small-scale agriculture to larger farms, and the influx of machinery.

Hammond's book is praised for its meticulous research and its ability to humanize the village labourers, giving them a voice in history. It sheds light on the inequalities and exploitation that existed in rural society and provides a valuable insight into the social and economic history of England during this time period. The village labourer, 1760-1832 remains a significant and influential study in the field of social history.
