“From the point of view of our discussion, the book as a response to political and literary circumstances, its origin belongs to the autumn and winter of 1678-80, exactly a decade earlier than it is traditionally supposed to have been written.

“We shall try to prove in this chapter how questionable it would be to assert that the transformation of English society by industrialisation was accompanied by any decrease in the size of the average household until very late on in that process. The facts presented will show that mean household size remained fairly constant at 4.75 or a little under, from the earliest point for which we have found figures, until as late as 1901. There is no sign of the large, extended coresidential family group of the traditional peasant world giving way to the small, nuclear, conjugal household of modern industrial society. In England in fact...the large joint or extended family seems never to have existed as a common form of the domestic group at any point in time covered by known numerical records.”
