| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | The text covers the period of English rural history from the high point of Britain's agricultural power in the 1850s and 1860s through to the grim years of the inter-war period. Uncovering many of the myths of an idyllic rural England, Howkins looks in detail at the role of women, the workplace, the family and religion. Topics covered include: the creation of a stable social order by the rural elites, concealing widespread poverty and disorder; the economic collapse of the cereal market in the 1870s; the emergence of trade unions and other forms of social conflict in the countryside; and changes in agricultural production and the horror of war. Alun Howkins combines the concerns of the new social history with original research to produce an account of the transformation of a society. |
