This revealing 1997 book in the Cambridge Studies in Historical
Geography series presents some of the first researches into a trove
of hitherto inaccessible primary source material. A controversial
component of Lloyd George's People's Budget of 1909-10 was the 'New
Domesday' of landownership and land values. This rich
documentation, for long locked away in the Inland Revenue's
offices, became available to the public in the late 1970s. For the
growing number of scholars of early twentieth century urban and
rural Britain, Dr Short offers both a coherent overview and a
standard source of reference to this valuable archive. Part I is
concerned with the processes of assembling the material and its
style of representation; Part II with suggested themes and locality
studies. A final chapter places this new material in the context of
discourses of state intervention in landed society prior to the
Great War.
