Thesis (Ph.D.)--University of California, Santa Cruz, 1997.

The central concern of this history of the industrial revolution is the estrangement of the people of Oldham from their local environmental context and the social and ecological consequences of this division. This dissertation argues that market penetration combined with industrialization and unplanned development to sever the connections that united these communities to the land. The reciprocal influences of ecological and social change can best be achieved at the local level where they are more clearly demarcated and understood. For this reason Oldham, England, was chosen. Archival materials from Lancashire County and London, in addition to secondary sources, were used to illustrate these transformations.

520 $a The central concern of this history of the industrial revolution is the estrangement of the people of Oldham from their local environmental context and the social and ecological consequences of this division. This dissertation argues that market penetration combined with industrialization and unplanned development to sever the connections that united these communities to the land. The reciprocal influences of ecological and social change can best be achieved at the local level where they are more clearly demarcated and understood. For this reason Oldham, England, was chosen. Archival materials from Lancashire County and London, in addition to secondary sources, were used to illustrate these transformations.
520 $a The pre-industrial inhabitants of Oldham adapted successfully to rigorous environmental constraints by exploiting a variety of livelihoods. By the 1790's, with turnpike roads and canals either in place or under construction, the concerns of a national and global market economy begin to dominate the society and environment of Oldham. Opportunities for an autonomous and diverse lifestyle increasingly were denied by the emergence of a new elite of entrepreneurs who were allied to the wider market economy. This group's access to a large amount of capital set them apart from smaller and more community oriented manufacturers and merchants.
520 $a As the new elite added to their wealth they increased the amount of control they had over the rest of the community as employers, magistrates, and landowners. The inequalities apparent in this economic growth and its impact on nature aided in the disintegration of the socially varied common ground of the land-based community. The norms and obligations still embraced by the majority had less and less in common with the new market society of Oldham. These social and economic divisions were visible in a corresponding increase in popular actions directed against the narrowly defined and more active new elite. The results of these changes for Oldham's environment and inhabitants were a more intensive form of exploitation and an increased dependence upon the wider market economy.
