This PhD will use and create new digital humanities resources to investigate wealth and social inequalityacross seventeenth-century England. This has been selected because of recent research and the relevanceof this famous historical period. Late seventeenth-century England sustained drastic social and economicoverhauls which changed its world forever. This has parallels to the current, and coming, social andeconomic changes that we are going through as a nation and society.Using Branko Milanovic's 2018 model for wealth inequality in pre-industrial societies as a jumping off point,this thesis will go further and investigate disaggregate data from rural and urban societies undergoingtransition from a pre-modern to a modern society. Previous watershed models of historic social wealthdistribution will be brought into the conversation and assessed in turn.The thesis will focus on two research themes:1. investigate wealth and population distribution both within and in-between the town and the countrysideof Restoration England.2. ask how occupation affected economic status and residential zoning in both urban and ruralenvironments.The regional areas of study will be London and Middlesex; Hull and the East Riding of Yorkshire; Bristol withSomerset and Gloucestershire; Norwich and Norfolk; and Northampton and Northamptonshire. This willgive a picture from each corner of the country and wide base for nation-wide comparison. The project willuse tempered data from the Hearth Tax for wealth and population distribution and supplement this withlocal probate inventories and other contemporary records - which have not yet been brought together onthis scale.New digital resources for interdisciplinary research will be created: collections of data maps and an onlinedatabase of historical persons who are recorded in multiple contemporary documents. This will give athree-dimensional image of a society in history and the people who lived in it.

这个博士将使用和创建新的数字人文资源，以调查整个十七世纪英格兰的财富和社会不平等。这是因为最近的研究和这个著名的历史时期的相关性而被选中的。17世纪后期，英国进行了彻底的社会和经济改革，永远改变了世界。这与我们作为一个国家和社会正在经历的当前和即将到来的社会和经济变革有相似之处。本文将以布兰科·米拉诺维奇2018年关于前工业社会财富不平等的模型为起点，进一步研究从前现代社会向现代社会过渡的农村和城市社会的分类数据。以往的分水岭模型的历史社会财富分配将被纳入对话和评估轮流。调查复辟时期英国城乡内部和城乡之间的财富和人口分布.问职业如何影响城市和乡村环境中的经济地位和居住区划分。研究的区域将是伦敦和米德尔塞克斯;约克郡的船体和东骑马区;布里斯托与萨默塞特和格洛斯特郡;诺维奇和诺福克;以及北安普顿和北安普顿郡。这将提供一个图片从每个角落的国家和广泛的基础，为全国范围内的比较。该项目将使用来自壁炉税的经过调和的财富和人口分布数据，并以当地遗嘱认证清单和其他当代记录作为补充--这些数据还没有如此大规模地汇集在一起。跨学科研究的新数字资源将被创建：数据地图集和一个记录在多个当代文件中的历史人物的在线数据库。这将给一个三维图像的社会在历史上和人民谁住在它。
