The Shifting Spatiality of Coalwork Summary "The Social Topography of a Rural Community is the first study of any of the two dozen seventeenth-century English communities which have occupational data recorded in a census and analyses that listing in conjunction with a contemporaneous estate map to offer a pioneering experiment in the spatial history of social and economic relations. The approach taken here is influenced by the 'spatial turn' in its emphasis on the endowment of specific spaces with 'a sense of place' as they were inhabited and experienced; and on the flow of people, goods, and information through space"-- Provided by publisher Bibliography Includes bibliographical references and indexes Notes Description based on online resource; title from digital title page (viewed on June 30, 2023) Subject Manners and customs Rural conditions European history.
