He argues there has been no methodological progress in local history since the agricultural history of the 1950s and that it has failed to absorb the demographic, urban or oral history developed since then. As a result the parish or country seat generally remains the focus of studies. 12. F.J.

Bohstedt, 'Gender, household and community politics: women in English riots 1790-1810', Past and Present, 120 (1988), pp. 88-122. 16. The local history sources - mainly court or poor law records-are 'texts', mediated before I see them and by me when I go on to construct my own stories with them. Post-structuralist ideas can inform us as econ­ omic historians because they force us to look at the history of the con­ cepts and constructions that we work with, see J. Scott, Gender and the Politics of History (New York, 1988). I have used sources here that would be useless for any sort of quantitative analysis. Stories, told by poor people, written down as evidence in court, or in approaches to the over­ seers to get more poor relief, provide mere snippets of information, but are nevertheless telling reflections of 'making shift', even if they often record a thread of a greater story, rather than a complete narrative. Since they are also life stories, because some features of women's work are a continuum, and because Essex has such a good collection of them, I have included oral history recordings and essays written by elderly people about their recollections. See C. Steedman, Landscape for a Good Woman: A Story of Two Lives (1986); C. Steedman, The Radical Soldier's Tale: John Pearman 1819-1908 (1988) for the use of stories in creating histo­ ries. See also M. Chamberlain, Fenwomen (1975) for an early project in the oral history of women. I have used interviews in the University of Essex Sociology department Family Life Archive (hereafter 'Family Life Archive'); the Colchester Recalled Archive and the BBC Essex Sound Archive as well as elderly people's essays for various Age Concern com­ petitions run in Essex.

Thus,n i France, to trace back to Charlemagne is the desideratum ; in England, to the Norman Con quest; and in the New England States, to the Puri tans, or first settlement of the country. The origin of but few nations or individuals can be precisely traced or ascertained. " The lapse of ages is inces santly thickening the veil which is spread over remote objects and events.
