Description

Explore the cultural meanings of famine and scarcity in Penury into Plenty: Dearth and the Making of Knowledge in Early Modern England. This Routledge research volume provides an original examination of the socio-economic and ecological crises that defined the 1590s. By looking at the widespread fears of famine, the book reveals how these pressures influenced daily activities and the development of new knowledge during a period of intense instability. The text investigates the remedial measures taken by people in early modern England to manage resources effectively. It offers a deep look into the theories and publications of Sir Hugh, a prolific dearth scientist, to show how early modern society responded to survival threats. This work is an essential resource for those studying the history of economics, resource management, and the social impacts of food scarcity in English history.
