Keith Wrightson writes social history of early modern England, especially about households, inequality, work and local communities. English Society 1580–1680 offers a broad account of social structure and everyday life, while Earthly Necessities examines economic lives from the Reformation to the Industrial Revolution. Ralph Tailor's Summer reconstructs Newcastle during the plague of 1636 through the work of a scrivener recording wills and inventories. Wrightson's prose is scholarly, detailed and socially grounded, using local records to illuminate larger patterns without losing individual lives. His work fits early modern England, social history, economic history and microhistory. Read more Less
