The gendered dynamics of violence in English apprenticeship
This article offers the first systematic analysis of the role that violence played in the management of apprentices, and the gendered dynamics of violence in English apprenticeship more broadly. It does so through an examination of 195 petitions that apprentices or their supporters submitted to the Middlesex and Westminster Sessions, which sought the cancellation of their indentures on grounds of ‘immoderate correction’. It offers a quantitative …
Paternalism and the politics of ‘toll corn’ in early modern England
This article examines controversies related to a neglected aspect of early modern English grain marketing: toll corn. Such disputes and the litigation that they occasioned provided opportunities for individuals of various positions – including those who sold grain on the market – to reassert normative ideals about the considerations that should take precedence in the market: specifically, the belief that the needs of the poor should outweigh the …
Toll Disputes, Grain Marketing, and Economic Culture in England, c. 1550–1800
Tolls were not only fundamental to the operation of early modern English markets, but also had the capacity to generate tensions that belied their seemingly unremarkable role in contemporary economic affairs. Yet, tolls and toll disputes have received little attention in studies of market regulation and have also been neglected in studies of the politics of grain supply and marketing. This article revives tolls as an object of enquiry and suggest…
The price of the poor's words
Historians of early modern England are aware that the legal testimony of poor, dependent, and subordinated individuals was regarded with suspicion. Contemporaries believed that labouring people would provide false evidence in return for 'gifts' or 'rewards'. To what extent did such assumptions accurately reflect the processes whereby such witnesses came to depose for their 'betters'? This article uses sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century perj…

Branded on the Tongue
The laboring population of early modern England (ca. 1550-1750) has long been characterized as "inarticulate"-by contemporary elites and historians alike. This article uses transcribed linguistic exchanges between lower-class speakers and their social superiors-especially those that occurred in the context of the criminal justice system-to reconsider the causes and consequences of plebeian inarticulacy during the period, and beyond. It suggests t…
