“…In recent decades, a number of historians have re-appraised the effects of the Industrial Revolution on this region and have paid particular attention to the experience of the working population (see, for example, Foster 1974 andCunningham 1980). The Manchester environs are notable as the first area in the world to undergo extensive industrialization and urbanization.…”

In northwest England, during the early nineteenth century, morris dancing was performed annually by young adult men in the context of a procession which called attention to the health, wealth, number, and strength of a community's menfolk. After the First World War, morris dancing could still be seen as a form of public display in the region, but it had also become the province of children of both sexes. This age and gender revision coincided with an apparent spread of morris dances within the area.

Urbanization in both Britain and Canada during the 19th century was associated with that intensification of capitalist relationships called industrialization. In Britain however, there were nuances worth noting. Industry migrated in from a countryside which was already full of economic activity both agricultural and industrial. Canadian urban growth took place in relatively empty economic space stimulated by the economic activity created by settler migration and commodity trade. Two important differences resulted. First, the contrast between urban and rural economic structures was much greater in Canada than in Britain, where rural community structures influenced urban social patterns. Secondly, Canadian urban centres acted as units of entrepreneur ship, within which leaders used the urban power base to attract capital and ensure its reproduction. The municipalities were weak in relation to the agents of capital with which they dealt; city councils, therefore, conceded much to manufacturers and even more to railways. The greater bargaining power of the established British urban centres showed in their relationship with the railway companies and urban utilities. British urban centres grew in a capital rich countryside. They used their urban power base to react to instabilities created by the accumulation of industrial capital, hence becoming predominantly agencies for the reproduction of labour.

“…To the best of his recollection, Tilly worked out this format independently, on the analogy of the sociological research by contemporary scholars on similar social subjects (Personal communication, 28 Sept., 1986). Apparently this approach was widely criticized in England (Foster, 1974). 10. The concept of a non-egalitarian one-class society is, so far as I know, unique to Laslett, who arrived at it by adding to the Marxian criterion of economic situation and self-consciousness that of a sense of national identity.…”

The post-World War II development of kinship history was initiated by the emergence of methods for the analysis of quantitative historical-demographic sources: in France by means of the Family Reconstitution Method based on genealogical records and parish registers; in England by the analysis of nominative household censuses. The essay discusses five areas of subsequent development in the field : (1) the search for an investigation of large-scale kinship structures, and their influence on society as a whole; (2) life-course analysis, which integrates both events in individual life histories and larger historical events with the household developmental cycle;(3) interactions between kinship and economic relations, and particularly the roles played by women in the economic life of the family; (4) the effects of kinship on social relations at the community level; and (5) the relationships between kinship and social structures more generally. In this last respect, the essay emphasizes the influence of the particularly French intellectual institutions and traditions, and of the alliance theory of marriage on the distinctive direction taken by French social historians. Finally, the essay considers the study of mentalités, as it has influenced kinship history.
