Changing Countryside in Victorian and Edwardian England and Wales

This book traces the nature of change within the country community of England and Wales between 1870 and 1918--a period that was, in many respects, a watershed in British history. Horn reveals the powerful underlying stresses and tensions of rural life: people experienced the anxieties of agricultural recession, the declining influence of the landed classes, the diminishing support for religious institutions, and the disruption of many traditional aspects of rural life.Horn, Pamela is the author of 'Changing Countryside in Victorian and Edwardian England and Wales' with ISBN 9780838632321 and ISBN 0838632327.
