An examination of the relationship between economic growth and urban growth in England and the rest of Europe in the early modern period is presented. In particular the author attempts to determine what additional insights into differential economic development in Europe result from a separation of population growth into rural and urban components. The importance of the rapid growth of urban population in England is stressed. (ANNOTATION)
