CRSO Working Paper 299 a SELECTED BIBLIOGMPHY OF ..................................... A SELECTED BIBLIOGMPHY OF EUROPEAN URBANIZATION SINCE 1500 Charles Tilly University of Michigan September 1983 .................................... CRSO Working Paper 299 Copies available through: Center for Research on Social Organization University of Michigan 330 Packard Street Ann Arbor, Michigan 48104 A SELECTED BIBLIOGRAPHY OF EUROPEAN URBANIZATION SINCE 1500 compiled by Charles Tilly revised version September 1983 CENTER FOR RESEARCH ON SOCIAL ORGANIZATION UNIVERSITY OF MICHIGAN 330 PACKARD STREET ANN ARBOR, MICHIGAN 48104 INTRODUCTION This bibliography is a companion to "Statistics on the Urbanization of Europe, 1500-1950," "Selected Readings on Communities, Cities, and Urbanization", and "Selected Readings on Political Change". The Center for Research on Social Organization sells them at cost as a service to students, teachers, and researchers. I have designed the bibliography with a hypothetical graduate student in mind: someone who already has a working familiarity with Europe, but is just beginning to study some aspect of European community structure, cities, or urbanization. That aim should not stop it from being useful to others who know less, or more, about the subject matter. Obviously the bibliography is far from comprehensive. I have tried to construct it so that the reader who has some particular problem in mind can find at least a few references dealing with the problem, and those references, in turn, will lead right into the main literature dealing with the problem. For that purpose, I have favored recent publications over old ones and publications with extensive bibliographies over thinly-documented ones. Because of my base in Western Europe and because of the limits of my linguistic competence, the bibliography is weak on Scandinavia, Eastern Europe and, especially, the region from Turkey to Yugoslavia. I am circulating it in preliminary form with the hope that experts will help me fill the gaps. I would be glad to have the crucial references (not, please, the entire bibliographies) for areas, periods and particular cities I have slighted. Where I have garbled the citation or missed a valuable source for a place or time that is already represented on the list, I would also like to have that information. The same goes for general topics, research procedures or kinds of evidence you think should be represented in the bibliography's next edition. Members of the 197 1-72 Center seminar at our Center for Western European Studies gave me much-needed assistance in assembling the first version of this bibliography. Karen Fonde co-edited two early versions, and thereby made a major contribution to this one. Louise Tilly, Lynn Lees, Kingsbury Marzolf, and John, Merriman also gave me a good number of good suggestions. And, as so many times before, Sheila Wilder helped enthusiastically with the bibliography's production.

  • Navigable Waterways and the Economy of England and Wales: 1600-1835
    Navigable waterways and the economy of England and Wales: 1600-1835 Max Satchell1 1. Introduction “The advantages resulting from canals, as they open an easy and cheap communication between distant parts of a country, will be ultimately experienced by persons of various descriptions: and more especially by the manufacturer, the occupier or owner of land, and the merchant. The manufacturer will thus be enabled to collect his materials, his fuel, and the means of subsistence, from remote districts, with less labour and expense; and to convey his goods to a profitable market. As canals multiply, old manufactures revive and flourish, new ones are established, and the adjoining country is rendered populous and productive.”2 In a single paragraph, this anonymous contribution to an encyclopaedia published when canal building was at its height (circa 1806) encapsulates the interrelated benefits of navigable waterways. Numerous scholarly attempts have been made to specify the relationship between navigable waterways and economic growth in England and Wales. Typically, these have focused on the period between 1600 and 1835, when the network expanded most. However, with some notable exceptions, these studies are insufficiently grounded in the changing geographical and material realities of the time. To help fill that gap, this paper uses a new technology, GIS (Geographical Information Systems) Modelling, to lay foundations and explore more rigorously the relationship between navigable waterways, demography and economic growth in England and Wales. The paper proceeds as follows. The next section relates the expansion of the navigable waterways network in England and Wales to population growth and urbanisation. Then, the GIS Waterways model developed by the Cambridge Group for the History of Population and 1 Social Structure is described.

  • Elizabethan London: a Study in Historical Geography· STEPHEN M
    GEOGRAPHY 199 Elizabethan London: A Study in Historical Geography· STEPHEN M. SUTHERLAND, University of Oklahoma, Norman When entering into a field, such as historical geography, in which there are a diversity of opinions as to the nature of the subject, perhaps it is worthwhile to spend a moment on the underlying philosophy. Andrew H. Clark notes that, 0' Any study of past geography or of geographical change through time is historical geography, whether the study be involved with cultural, physical, or biotic phenomena and however limited it may be in topic or area." (James, Jones 1954) Hartshorne (1939) strengthens the idea of a study of a past geography by saying, "Whereas we commonly assume that the term 'geography,' when used without qualification. refers to a cross-section through the present, we may use the term 'historical geography' for an exactly similar cross-section through any previous point of time." This paper is concerned with a rather limited area, London, at a specific point in time, the Elizabethan period. Two noteworthy elements of any urban area, whether viewed from the present or historically, are site and situation. In London, both factors have had important roles. The site element appears to have been the more important of the two in earlier times, whereas the situation or relative location of the city has figured more significantly recently. The site of London is an interesting example of the influence of environmental factors on the life of man. Originally the city was estab­ lished on two hills which were gravel remnants of a terrace. The hills were enclosed by a wall and Roman Londinium existed within the enclo­ sure.

At the time of writing this history of the Isle of Thanet Geographical Association, the Branch had an ageing membership and it was believed that now was the time to produce such a dissertation on the Branch activities throughout the six decades of its existence. Derek Wilson, as secretary of the Branch, was the custodian of the Branch Archives and compiled all the information for this history which was derived from the available committee meeting minutes, membership cards and leaflets and flyers advertising the lecture meetings throughout the 6 decades; also, further information was obtained from members’ diaries and through verbal communication and newspaper clippings. Although there was some information missing in the archives, this is, nevertheless, a comprehensive history of the Branch. Derek Wilson, FTSC, BSc, LRSC Hon Secretary, Isle of Thanet Geographical Association May 2016 3 Introduction and Background The Royal Geographical Society of London was founded in 1830 as an institution to promote the advancement of geographical science. Like many learned societies at the time in pursuit of knowledge, it started as a dining club in London, where select members held informal dinner debates on current scientific issues and ideas.

For Melissa and Isabella Acknowledgements This project began as a footnote in a paper for Literary Theory, and as you might imagine from such humble origins, the path to this dissertation has been long. The final result bears little resemblance to where I thought I was going at the start of my studies. Its completion is thanks to many individuals who challenged and supported me in the process. In the limited space here, I cannot thank the many people who supported and nurtured this project. First and foremost, I must thank my wife Melissa and my daughter Isabella. Without their patience, sacrifice, and support on a daily level, this project would have never been completed. I hope what follows is worthy of your contributions. Second, I must thank my Chair Kenneth Hodges. Professor Hodges brought an energy and enthusiasm to this project, which even I—at times— began to doubt. He challenged me to consider new methods of arranging material in order to draw out the best argument. His incisive comments on the project have improved it greatly.
