Abstract

James Edwin Thorold Rogers is a largely forgotten member of the English Historical School of economists, historian and politician who was closely associated with Oxford, first as an undergraduate and then as the holder on two separate occasions of the prestigious Drummond Professorship of Political Economy. Rogers’ most important work was the multi-volume A History of Agriculture and Prices in England, which appeared between 1866 and 1902. Despite the achievement represented by A History, Rogers did not attain the recognition he may have perhaps deserved in his lifetime or subsequently. Various reasons can be identified which help to explain this, among them Rogers’ fiery character, his tendency of belittling the work of other economists, and his failure to make any significant contributions to economic theory.
