This book examines the English rural community, past and present,
in its variety and dynamism. The distinguished team of contributors
brings a variety of disciplinary perspectives to bear upon the
central issues of movement and migration; the farm family and rural
labour force; the development of contrasting rural communities; the
portrayal of rural labour in both 'high' and popular culture; the
changing nature of religious practice in the English countryside;
the rural/urban fringe, and the spread of notions of a rural
English arcadia within a predominantly urban society. Fully
illustrated with accompanying maps, paintings and photographs, The
English Rural Community provides an important and innovative
overview of a subject where history, myth and debate are
inseparably entwined. A full bibliography will assist a broad range
of general readers and students of social history, historical
geography and development studies approaching the subject for the
first time, and the whole should establish itself as the central
analytical account in an area where image and reality are
notoriously hard to unravel.
