Minior impact damage to one corner, otherwise very good."The farms, villages, estates and the people that characterized the English countryside were once the mainspring of both the government and the economy. They supported and responded to the needs of the nation. Yet rural England has always been threatened: from epidemics and the famine to the ravages of the industrial revolution. From the end of the eighteenth century, weakened by enclosure and depopulation, the countryside battled with a rising industrial estate and inevitably succumbed. The village had become a relic, the symbol of a past age visited by those in search of Olde Englande'. A fundamental change had occurred. G.E. Mingay traces the rise and fall of the rural England from the Middle Ages to the Second World War and the development of the countryside as a whole. He examines the people who owned and farmed the land, often regarded as a law unto themselves. The rural population was a centre of rebellion and discontent; riddled with class distinctions and social divisions; a threat to the society it supported in so many ways. The English countryside has changed: Mingay shows how and why this has occurred and the way it has affected the evolution of society in the twentieth century." (Publisher). Book.
