This book, first published in 1983, is a major contribution to our
understanding of how and why French rural peasant society became
modernised by radical changes in the communications system - in
particular, the coming of the railways. The author argues that
complex changes in the transport systems, and their effects on
agricultural market structures, finally brought traditional French
rural civilisation to an end. With the extension of
commercialisation, and the widening of horizons, new economic and
social structures - and changed attitudes - rapidly came into
being. Writing as an economic historian, the author has adopted an
interdisciplinary approach to this study which incorporates
economic, sociological, historical and geographical methods and
data.
