Product Description
Review
'This book succinctly covers a very wide range of source materials and case-studies and incorporates an extensive bibliography...essential introductory reading for undergraduates looking at early modern migration...' - Charles Rawding, Geography
'Every so often I read a book which will be truly useful to myself and my students - this is it. I will no longer have to teach basic theories of migration and I suspect that the students will hold a party to celebrate! The author should be commended.' - Steven King, Oxford Brookes University

Product Description
Migration is the most imprecise and difficult of all aspects of pre-industrial population to measure. It was a major element in economic and social change in early modern Britain, yet, despite a wealth of detailed research in recent years, there has been no systematic survey of its importance. This book reviews a wide range of aspects of population migration, and their impacts on British society, from Tudor times to the main phase of the Industrial Revolution.

Format:Hardcover
This book certainly strarts off well with a clear in-depth look at the mobility of the British people throughout the period of study. However, the book is extemely disappointing in other aspects such as the lack of information concerning the mass exodus of Jews out of Nazi Germany and into Britain, a point that Whyte has sadly missed. The recent crisis in Kosovo and the flood of refugees into Britian is also undocumented. Maybe the author could have extended his study to account for such society changing population movements. In general this book is a fairly good stab for a beginner like Whyte but he still seems to have much to learn.
