The Vanishing Countryman Paperback / softback
Edited by G. E. Mingay
Part of the Routledge Revivals series
Paperback / softback
Description
First published in 1989, The Vanishing Countryman investigates how farmers, farm workers, and other country crafts- and tradespeople have fared in response to significant changes across the British countryside in the past one hundred years.
The book explores the move towards large-scale and capital-intensive farming, and the conflict between increased production and damage to the environment.
It looks at the decline in the number of farm workers, crafts- and tradespeople.
It also considers the changes in social composition across country villages and the impact that this has had on living standards, housing, and transport.
The Vanishing Countryman will appeal to those with an interest in rural and social history, and in the history of the British countryside specifically.
