Defines the interdisciplinary field of Rural Modernity through
analysis of British literature, art and culture Rural Modernity in
Britain argues that the rural areas of Britain were impacted by
modernisation just as much - if not more - than urban and suburban
areas. It is the first study of modernity and modernism to focus on
rural people and places that experienced economic depression, the
expansion of transportation and communication networks, the roll
out of electricity, the loss of land, and the erosion of local
identities. Who celebrated these changes? Who resisted them? Who
documented them? Essays in this collection make the case that the
rural means more than just the often-studied countryside of
southern England, a retreat from the consequences of modernity;
rather, the rural emerges as a source for new versions of the
modern, with an active role in the formation and development of
British experiences and representations of modernity. Key Features

critical intervention in fields of modernism and modernity studies
