산업 혁명 시기 영국의 농업 경제 변화와 복음주의의 부흥

Abstract

The grain farming was pursued much more, especially in England during the industrial revolution. Farmers preferred labourers to servants because they needed a working force only in the busy farming seasons, particularly at harvest times. The labouring poor faced seasonal unemployment and a fall in women's wages. Therefore they married earlier than former times and began to increase dependents to receive child allowances. These trends made the labouring poor feel frustration. The church of England was less responsive to the needs of the agricultural labourer during the industrial revolution. The acute economic hardship fuelled the fire of evangelicalism. According to Elie Hal vy and E.P. Thompson, the evangelical revival was able to turn the English working classes away from revolutionary violence during the industrial revolution. However, the agricultural labourer used evangelicalism to express their discontent with the existing social and political order. The evangelicalism was a motive for the rising of the agricultural labourers in early nineteenth century England. The study of Hal vy and Thompson, therefore, needs to be tested in a variety of locales. (Youngnam Theological College and Seminary/8052353@hanmail.net)
