Description

The World We Have Lost by Peter Laslett is a seminal work that challenges prevailing views on England before the Industrial Revolution. By focusing on everyday life and family structures, Laslett sheds new light on how people lived, worked, and interacted in pre-industrial society.

Laslett's groundbreaking research reveals surprising truths about life expectancy, child marriage, literacy rates, and social mobility. He shows that many common assumptions about the past were based on incomplete or inaccurate information, and his findings have had a lasting impact on our understanding of early modern English history.

This Routledge Classics edition includes a new Foreword by Kevin Schürer, providing fresh context for this influential work. a worthwhile read for anyone interested in social history, family studies, or the history of England before the Industrial Revolution.
