The enduring 'Town versus Country' debate lies at the root of
modern British society. How far did the idealization of the
countryside by artists and writers since the Industrial Revolution
foster anti-urban, anti-industrial values? How have such values
affected government policy, social structure and economic dynamism?
Did post-war developments, in particular rural-urban commuting and
environmentalist criticism of modern 'industrial' farming,
undermine the traditional distinction between town and country, or
are they themselves symptoms of the continuing allure of the rural
idyll? This book will demonstrate the remarkable influence that
attitudes to the countryside have had on the evolution of modern
British life.
