Product Description
Excerpt from The Enforcement of the Statutes of Labourers, Vol. 32: During the First Decade After the Black Death 1349-1359
Since the supply was to be provided in part by the compulsory labour of the able-bodied vagrant, it is tme, as Cunningham points out, op. A't., i, 335, that this portion of the ordinance marks the beginning of what afterwards developed into a poor law. I am not here concerned with this later development, which was certainly not foreseen by the framers of the measure.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating world of 14th century England, following the devastating impact of the Black Death on the country's labor force. The author meticulously examines the complex legislation enacted to address the labor shortage and its subsequent enforcement, using primary source material from the Public Record Office in London. The book explores the central government's unprecedented attempt to regulate wages and prices nationwide, a bold move that challenged traditional local control and sparked debates about the rights of workers versus landowners. The author details the evolving machinery of enforcement, examining the roles of the justices of labourers, their relation to the keepers of the peace, and the ongoing struggle between the crown and Parliament for control over these appointments. The book offers valuable insights into the political, social, and economic struggles of the time, painting a vivid picture of a society grappling with unprecedented change. Its thorough exploration of the administrative mechanisms employed by the government provides a unique perspective on how the English state attempted to manage a crisis that had far-reaching consequences.
