Abstract

This article studies how agrarian management was reimagined in the context of emerging agrarian capitalism between the sixteenth and mid-seventeenth centuries in England by examining the development of discourses of thrift, industriousness, and improvement among agricultural writers. It demonstrates that agricultural writers' approach to farm, land, and labor management moved from a localized context of thrifty householding in the sixteenth century to a national context of industriousness and improvement by the mid-seventeenth century. This change in discourse, as this article will show, was an attempt to provide management advice and establish managerial power over the agricultural labor process within an increasingly connected, competitive, and impersonal agrarian economy.
从节俭到改善
本文通过考察农业作家关于节俭、勤劳和改良的论述的发展,研究了 16 世纪至 17 世纪中期英国新兴农业资本主义背景下如何重新规划农业管理。文章表明,农业作家对农场、土地和劳动力管理的态度从 16 世纪的地方性节俭持家转变为 17 世纪中叶的全国性勤劳和改良。本文将说明,这种论述方式的变化是为了在一个联系日益紧密、竞争日益激烈、日益缺乏人情味的农业经济中提供管理建议,并确立对农业劳动过程的管理权力。
