{"product_id":"9781442658431","title":"Peasant, Lord, and Merchant: Rural Society in Three Quebec Parishes 1740-1840","description":"\u003cp\u003eRural life in pre-industrial Quebec was essentially organized around a feudal society. Allan Greer takes a close look at the at society and its economy in three parishes in Lower Richelieu valley – Sorel, St Ours, and St Denis – from 1740 to 1840. He finds a pronounced pattern of household self-sufficiency; as in other peasant societies, the habitants lived mainly from produce grown throught their own efforts on their own lands. How the family-based economy operated and how the household was reproduced over the generations through marriage, birth, inheritance, and colonization, together form a major focus of this study.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press, Scholarly Publishing Division","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47134610620656,"sku":"9781442658431","price":33.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9781442658431_p0.jpg?v=1763811432","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9781442658431","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
