Description

In Bread and the British Economy, 1770-1870, Christian Petersen offers a comprehensive look at a central topic in economic and social history. This book explores how securing an adequate supply of bread was a primary concern for society. Petersen examines the transition of bread making in Britain, specifically how the process of replacing various cereals like rye and barley with wheat was completed throughout the later eighteenth century. As bread was the largest single item in the budgets of the poor, this work provides a new sense of coherence to the study of grain usage and economic shifts. This volume is an essential resource for those studying the history of food, economics, and British social structures during this transformative century.
