Agriculture and Politics in England, 1815-1939
Description
This volume traces the decline of landed power in England between 1815 and 1939, primarily in political but also in economic and social terms. The essays by leading authors in the field examine different aspects of the decline of landed power. New light is shed on the Corn Laws, the allotment movement, and the relationship between the landed classes and the state in the earlier 20th century, all parts of the dramatic and significant saga.
