The Self-Contained Village?: The Social History of Rural Communities, 1250-1900 - Couverture souple
Livre 1 sur 10: Explorations in Local and Regional History
Synopsis
This stimulating collection of essays on issues raised by the concept of the "self-contained village" is published as the second volume in a new series of mid-length (40K -60K words) monographs on fresh and unusual subjects within local and regional history. The series is published under the auspices of the Centre for English Local History, University of Leicester and the Centre for Regional and Local History, University of Hertfordshire. The village, before industrialization and commuting, was once perceived as having a self-sufficient economy and a population largely separated from the outside world. Historical revisionism has overturned that view, though it persists in the popular imagination. The essays in this book consider whether the idea of the self-contained village has any validity; they examine change over time and also make regional comparisons. Areas touched on include demography, migration, agriculture, inheritance, politics, employment, industry and markets. Amongst the contributors, Ian Whyte looks at Westmorland communities in the late 18th century and the 19th century; H.R French considers mobility, lineage and identity in English rural communities from 1600 to 1750 and Jane Whittle investigates landholding families in Norfolk from 1440 to 1600. It is illustrated throughout with maps and photographs.

paperback. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
