Land, Labour and Agriculture, 1700-1920: Essays for Gordon Mingay

by B.A. Holderness (Editor), Michael Edward Turner (Editor)

The challenges and opportunities offered to British farming by the profound changes of the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries make these years of outstanding interest to the agricultural historian. These original essays are presented to Gordon Mingay, the most distinguished historian of the Agricultural Revolution, and reflect his own interests in three central themes; landownership and landed society; rural labour; and agriculture both as a business and as a way of life.
