Cheyney is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This comprehensive work explores the development of English society and its economy from prehistoric times through the Industrial Revolution. The book aims to correlate economic and social history with other vital aspects of the nation’s evolution, making it a suitable textbook for both college and high school classes. At the start of the book, Cheyney sets the stage for understanding England's geographic and historical context, emphasizing how geography influenced its development over the centuries. The opening chapters address the early settlements, including the impact of Roman Britain on societal structures, as well as detailing the transitions through the Anglo-Saxon period and the Scandinavian influences. The chapter's exploration of the geography outlines how natural resources and climate shaped not only the physical landscape but also the agricultural and economic practices that would frame medieval England's society. Overall, the beginning of the book lays foundational knowledge essential for grasping the more nuanced discussions of industrialization and social shifts that characterize later chapters.
