This book is about the people who are usually left out of the men and women who have labored to make a living in a world they did not create; whose work has sustained the wealthy, ruling minority that is normally the subject of history books. J.F.C. Harrison uses the evidence of the common people themselves and draws upon recent work in crowd history, popular religion, cultural change, demography, and the history of women and the family to describe the everyday life of ordinary their social structure, work, family relationships, ideas idly recreates the past as it felt to peasants working in the fields, artisans in their workshops, and industrial workers in the factories; and it enables us to trace the history of the English common people from the present back to earliest times.

The Second Coming (Routledge Revivals): Popular Millenarianism, 1780-1850

First published in 1979, The Second Coming is an experiment in the writing of popular history – a contribution to the history of the people who have no history and an exploration of some of the ideas, beliefs and ways of thinking of ordinary men and women in the late eighteenth and first half of the nineteenth centuries. Millenarianism is a conceptual tool with which to explore some aspects of popular thought and culture. It is also seen as an ideology of social change and as a continuing tradition, traced from the end of the seventeenth century to the 1790s, and is shown to be embedded in folk culture.  Abundant in rich and lively descriptions of such colourful characters as Richard Brothers, Joanna Southcott, John Wroe, Zion Ward and Sir William Courtenay, as well as studies of the Shakers, early Mormons and Millerites, the result is a window into the world of ordinary people in the Age of Romanticism.
