	Early modern Europe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The early modern period is characterized by the rise to importance of science and increasingly rapid technological progress, secularized civic politics and the nation state.
		The beginning of the early modern period is not clear-cut, but is generally accepted to be in the late 15th century or early 16th century.
		The expression "early modern" is sometimes, and incorrectly, used as a substitute for the term Renaissance.

	Reviews in History:
		But even in the early sixteenth century change was afoot, the four key elements of which were the emergence of the yeomanry, the enclosure of land and conversion to pasture farming, the spread of industry in the countryside and the restructuring of the urban system.
		Most were small in the early sixteenth century, and probably smaller than most historians believe, but they were neither squalid nor congested at this date: if they were particularly vulnerable to plague — the frequency of serious outbreaks of which should not be overstated — this was due to their central place functions.
		By the early seventeenth century famine, as revealed by research to date, appears to have largely disappeared from the south, but crises of subsistence were still known in the north-west.

		This bespeaks several conceptual assumptions of the early modern period -- a neoplatonic emphasis on form or ideal rather than the "accidents" of the material; the privileging of geometric or mathematical over experiential knowledge -- but the one I want to emphasize here is perhaps the most counterintuitive.
		However, to talk of early modern Wales is to focus on only half of the story, given that the play also concerns itself with the pre-history of England and Wales -- that is, the period of struggle between the ancient Britons and the invading Romans.
		Given that it took the national extension of the railroads and the concomitant necessity of railroad timetables to synchronize Britain's watches, regional temporal variations were undoubtedly significant in the early modern period, and must have played a significant role in the customary practices of particular areas.

	Early Modern English - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Early Modern English refers to the stage of the English language used from about the end of the Middle English period (the latter half of the 1400s) to 1650.
		The standardization of English spelling falls within the Early Modern English period, and is influenced by conventions predating the Great Vowel Shift, explaining the archaic non-phonetic spelling of contemporary Modern English.
		The change from Middle English to Early Modern English was not just a matter of vocabulary or pronunciation changing — it was the beginning of a new era in the history of English.

	IALHI News Service: Early Modern British Lives
		Beginning with the comments of contemporaries -- who were well aware that they were living in a time of major change -- Wrightson continues through the subsequent generations of economic historians, linking each set of writings with the general approaches prevailing in the discipline during that age.
		He also explores the gradual adjustments in the attitudes and values of early modern Britons as they contributed and reacted to these developments; one such alteration was a new discourse of "improvement."
		Wrightson is careful to repeatedly stress the continuity with earlier periods, and equally not to exaggerate the shifts in behavior that occurred before 1750.

	The History of Early Modern Britain from 1485
		The period from the sixteenth to the early eighteenth century is often referred to as the Early Modern Period because it coincides with the colonization of the New World and the development of new technologies which shaped the world as we know it.
		Whilst this led to the establishment of the Church of England, it is important to realise that the established Church did not satisfy all the calls for religious reform in the Early Modern period.
		The implications of these calls went largely unnoticed when Britain lost the American colonies in the 1780s, but they could no longer be ignored when Britons were faced with the French Revolution (1789) just a few miles away.

	H-Net Review: Jason McElligott on Pamphlets and Pamphleteering in Early Modern Britain
		Until relatively recently it was possible for scholars of early-modern Britain to disregard ephemeral printed material in favor of more "respectable" and "reliable" sources such as government papers, court records, or private diaries.
		In this account, by the early 1690s the pre-eminent position of the quarto pamphlet in political debate had been assumed by the folio news periodical.
		A history of the pamphlet in early-modern Britain should begin, as Raymond does, with the Marprelate controversy, and it should end not with the damp squib of the Glorious Revolution but with the wonderfully clear, lucid, and irresistible prose of Tom Paine.

		“Keith Wrightson is one of the most distinguished historians of communities in early modern Britain during the crucial two centuries before the Industrial Revolution.
		But merely to call it an excellent textbook doesn’t do full justice to this book; it is also a challenging original interpretation of early modern British society which all of Wrightson’s colleagues in pre-industrial British history will benefit from.
		Based on an impressing familiarity with new research and presented with the lucidity of an experienced teacher, Earthly Necessities is an extremely valuable contribution to our knowledge of Britain’s early modern economic history.

		Based on extensive archival work in Great Britain and in South Carolina as well as on the printed primary sources, my investigation has found, inter alia, that the West Indian influence on Carolina has been exaggerated and, correspondingly, a Caribbean-style society did not develop naturally or inevitably on this part of the North American mainland.
