解説

During the eighteenth century, England's landowners played a vital role in the growth of the national economy. First published in 1989, Town and Countryside draws together important research on the ways in which both urban and rural landed classes promoted this growth in industry, commerce, and agriculture. It offers the student and specialist new perspectives on the economic and social history of early modern England.

The book discusses the acquisition and management of landed estates, the importance of corporate landowners in urban development and the role of landowners in industry and commerce. Examples are taken from major cities such as Bristol, Birmingham, Reading, and Liverpool and from a range of country landowners from Devon to Berkshire and Shropshire. A substantial introduction draws these case studies together to link the social and political framework, the prevailing economic philosophy, fiscal policy, and the nation's rate of economic growth.

Illustrated with maps and contemporary drawings, this is a distinctive contribution to English economic and social history which will be welcomed by teachers and students alike.
