Recently rediscovered and brilliantly interpreted by historian Matthew Kadane, Ryder's diary provides an illuminating, real-life perspective on the relationship between capitalism and Protestantism at a time when Britain was rapidly changing from a traditional to a modern society. It also provides fascinating insights on the early modern family, the birth of industrialization, the history of Puritanism, the origins of Unitarianism, melancholy, and the making of the British middle class.Lewis Walpole series in eighteenth-century culture and history.MerchantsEnglandLeedsDiariesClothing tradeEnglandLeedsHistory18th centuryLeeds (England)CommerceHistory18th centuryLeeds (England)Economic conditions18th centuryLeeds (England)Social conditions18th centuryLeeds (England)Social life and customs18th centuryMerchantsClothing tradeHistory381.092BKadane Matthew1669779MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910828537703321The watchful clothier4031194UNINA
