The romantic imagery of village England and the prominence that
this commands in English cultural identity is well known. Yet just
how accurate is this notion of the rural idyll in which the organic
nature of village life was gradually undermined, and destroyed, by
social and economic factors? Trevor Wild's text explores the
evolution of "village England" from the earliest times to the
present. Drawing upon both contemporary accounts and scholarship,
he provides an engaging and revealing account of the major
transformations affecting the English village. Of particular
interest is the book's coverage of the more recent past, with the
whittling away of the great estates, the appearance of such
institutions as the village hall, and the development of
alternative systems of power such as the councils.
