  • The last visitation of the plague inSweden

    Open AccessRoger SchofieldARTICLEThe Economic History Review2016Citada por: 3Referencias: 10

    In an earlier study of the plague inColyton,Devon, the household distribution of deaths was studied to see whether this provided a method of identifying the causative disease. In this article, a known epidemic of plague in theSwedish parish ofBräkne-Hoby was studied as a means of testing out the generality of the household distribution of deaths. It was discovered that, in this case, the very heavy mortality was due to two radically different mea…

  • “Still more things to forget, in the wiping of Henry Patenson’s bottom in the Exchequer”

    Open AccessRoger SchofieldARTICLEMoreana2014

    The final piece of parchment of the roll kept by the Lord Treasurer’s Remembrancer for 16 Henry VIII, or 1524–5, contains a very strange case. Written partly in Latin and partly in English, as was the normal practice of the Court of the Exchequer, it contains a pretended report on the dispute between John Hone, a citizen and maker of candles, on the one hand, and Henry Patenson, more familiarly known as Harry Patenson, because of his physical lik…

  • Monday's child is fair of face’

    Open AccessRoger SchofieldARTICLEContinuity and Change2005Citada por: 4

    In the past a couple had the choice of a day from Monday through Sunday on which to baptise their child, or to get married, or to have their burials registered. The day chosen would reflect the parents' own preferences for days of leisure. As each date was converted by computer during the process of family reconstitution to a number of days that had elapsed since the first of January, 1 AD, all that it was necessary to do was to divide the number…

  • Through a Glass Darkly”

    Open AccessRoger SchofieldARTICLESocial Science History1998Referencias: 4

    The question that springs to mind at the start of this brief résumé of my career is, how did I come to be employed by the British Economic and Social Research Council, when my research training seemed so much against it? Memory is at best a fallible guide, but, as I remember, 1965 saw the appearance of The World We Have Lost , by Peter Laslett, which sought to describe the structure of English society before the Industrial Revolution. I had known…

  • English Population History from Family Reconstitution 1580–1837

    Open AccessEdward Anthony Wrigley, R S Davies et al.BOOKEnglish Population History from…1997

    English Population History from Family Reconstitution 1580–1837 is the most important single contribution to English historical demography since Wrigley and Schofield's Population History of England. It represents the culmination of work carried out at the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and Social Structure over the past quarter-century. This work demonstrates the value of the technique of family reconstitution as a means of obtain…

The purpose of the program is to facilitate family reconstitution functions using data from historical parish registers. In the program all the decisions including the difficult cases were to be made by the computer in accordance with a set of basic principles. (EXCERPT)

  • Population and Economy

    Mikhail S Bernstam, Robert I Rotberg et al.ARTICLEContemporary Sociology A Journal…1987

    With the publication of The Population History of England in 1981 it has become possible for the first time to trace in detail the demographic changes that occurred in a major European country throughout the early modern period and during the industrial revolution. It is therefore also now possible to test our understanding of the functioning of early modern economies in relation to their demographic patterns against the new empirical data. The d…
