About this copy
A thoughtful and richly illustrated collection that examines the English rural community, past and present, in all its variety and dynamism. Bringing together a distinguished team of contributors from history, geography, literature and art history, this volume explores the central questions of rural movement and migration, the farm family, the rural labour force, and the portrayal of country life in both high and popular culture. It remains a central analytical account for anyone interested in the place where image, history and myth are inseparably entwined.
This hardback copy comes complete with its original dust jacket, which features Fildes' 'The Village Wedding' in fine colour. Fully illustrated with paintings, photographs and maps.
