The Character of English Rural Society

Více o knize

Focusing on the transformation of early modern English rural society, this study explores three significant debates: the 'Brenner Debate,' English Individualism, and the decline of the small landowner. It provides a detailed historical examination of Earls Colne in Essex, a village often referenced in discussions about English society but lacking comprehensive analysis until now. This work aims to shed light on the complexities of rural life and societal changes during this pivotal period.
