Originally published in 1973, this book tells the story of the
English countryside and its inhabitants between 1560 and 1760; the
time when British agriculture became the wonder and envy of the
world. The history of the land itself is covered, as well as
farming techniques and a farming as a business. The day-to-day
existence of rural people, their ambitions and conditions of work
are brought to life. The book distils the history of rural England
and takes the reader to the heart of England itself.
