Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book studies the changing social values among the "gentry" class in the British Isles from 1660 to 1760. The idea of the "gentry" encompassed the lesser landowners and wealthier farmers of England, Scotland, and Wales. The gentry were a social class that developed out of the feudal system, and who in the 17th and 18th century saw themselves as the main power in the country, separate both from the traditional aristocracy and the common people. Utilizing a wealth of sources from family archives to account books, the author shows how the gentry expanded their economic power through agriculture, used their local political influence to reshape their communities, and cultivated a distinctive culture reflective of their aspirations. The gentry's local authority was supported by growing consumerism, itself facilitated by increasing agricultural profits. This book challenges traditional narratives of rising consumerism in Britain, and highlights the role of the gentry in shaping 18th century society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9780282112592_0
