The Dissolution of the Monasteries: a Quantitative Investigation Period: 16th-19th century Area: England

我的论文试图利用1535年《英勇传道书》（Valor Ecclesiasticus）中对教会财产的详细记录，来考察1536年开始的“解散修道院”运动的短期、中期和长期影响。该项目将分为三篇论文，每篇论文都以以前的数据收集为基础，以解决解散的不同方面。第一部分将考察在第一轮解散后立即爆发的一系列叛乱，利用修道院存在和活动的差异来预测叛乱的爆发。第二份报告将深入研究《勇气》中列出的预算项目，以检查立即取消寺院的贫困救济、教育、基础设施维护和当地社区的朝圣功能的影响。最后，最后一篇论文将使用关于长期经济发展和作物生产的额外数据来审查解体对后来的经济结构和生产力的长期影响，特别是在农业部门。

My thesis seeks to use the detailed record of Church property laid out in the Valor Ecclesiasticus of 1535 to examine the short-, medium-, and long-run impacts of the Dissolution of the Monasteries which began in 1536. The project will be split into three papers, each building on previous data collection to address a different aspect of the Dissolution. The first will examine the series of rebellions which broke out immediately after the first round of the Dissolution, using differences in monastic presence and activities to predict the outbreak of rebellion. The second will look deeper into the budget items laid out in the Valor in order to examine the effects of the immediate removal of monasteries' poor relief, education, infrastructure maintenance, and pilgrimage functions for local communities. Finally, the last paper will use additional data on long-term economic development and crop production to examine the long-run effects of the Dissolution on later economic structure and productivity, particularly in the agricultural sector.
