Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Short History of English Rural Life: From the Anglo-Saxon Invasion to the Present Time To those - and they are now many - who are earnestly seeking for a true solution of our many agricultural problems, industrial, social and political, the study of the conditions prevailing in rural England from the earliest historical times and of the vicissitudes, both of our greatest national industry and of the classes engaged in it, is an indispensable equipment. By such investigation alone can the difficulties of these problems be appreciated, blunders in rural policy be avoided, and antagonistic interests be reconciled. It will be rendered easy and attractive by a careful perusal of this little book, which skilfully summarizes the chief features of English village life and English agricultural history from Anglo-Saxon times down to the XXth century. And a chequered and kaleidoscopic history it is, replete with picturesque incident, remarkable in the vicissitudes of fortune of both rural industry and rural population, and, as regards the peasant and (more recently) the agricultural labourer, infinitely pathetic and at times tragic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Countryside WE live in times when change is so rapid that customs and institu tions of even a decade ago are no longer familiar. Everywhere the old is giving place to the new, and the methods of our forefathers are too leisurely for this hurrying age. The whole face of England is being rapidly altered, and this is perhaps more noticeable in the country, even in the most remote districts, than in the towns, where we look for change and improvements. So many old landmarks are being swept away that it seems time to call a halt and at least to take a survey before the old is banished by the new. In the towns it is perhaps almost too late to begin to preserve the buildings of the past, but in the country it is different. During most of the nine teenth century the country stagnated while the towns grew and prospered, but now ease of communication and the desire to see the country has brought about a change the city is being regarded only as a workshop and the country as the place in which to live. People, too, are beginning to understand that rural England is, and has always been, as important as the towns, and that scattered up and down the land are places not only beautiful in themselves, but full of the associations of the past. Each has played its part in the making of England as we know it to-day, and each has some story to tell, if we can only learn to read. An old rubbish heap may contain a wealth of romance, and a commonplace custom may have had its origin in the days when the inhabitants of these islands were little better than barbarians.

This book was released on 2018-01-23 with total page 422 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rural Life of England, Vol. 1 of 2 I am bound not to pass over without notice. In availing myself of occasional passages from the works of cotemporaries, I have but one simple rule; and that is, uniformly to acknowledge the loan. It is a glorious rule, to do as you would be done by: and I regret to have to complain, that that golden rule has not been very nicely observed towards me. The Book of the Seasons has been, by several writers, freely drawn upon for descriptions of nature, and the sea sons, without the slightest acknowledgment. I believe every original anecdote and trait of birds and other animals, has been extracted, and repeated so fre quently, without any intimation of whence they are borrowed, that any one now reading the Book of the Seasons for the first time, would naturally imagine that I myself had borrowed them of others. In one of the last volumes of Time's Telescope that ap peared, after that interesting work had ceased to be under the management of my worthy friend John Millard, free and unacknowledged use of such things was made. In one of the Companions to the British Almanack, the tables of the migrations of birds which had cost me much labour to construct, were taken entire, and in the following volume the borrower feli citated himself on being the happy author of these tables! In one of the books of Mr. Jesse, I observed the anecdote of the landrail, taken from the Book of the Seasons (p. Without any acknowledgment whence it came, and probably without his knowing it.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Old English Towns AN attempt is made in this work to give descriptive and historical accounts of the more important of our Old English Towns. Their rise and the chief buildings of past ages, remarkable episodes and phases of old-time social life, receive 'con sideration. It will be shown how towns have risen under the protection of castles, how others have grown under the care of religious houses, while others have advanced under royal patronage. Old customs linked with the lives of the people receive attention. The Cathedrals of the country are fully dealt with in other volumes in this series, and are, therefore, not described at length.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from British Rural Life and Labour Outside my previous books - brief extracts from a small selection of the press opinions on which are given on a page preceding the title page of this work - I am unaware of any book in which even an endeavour has been made to present, in anything like concrete form, a subject that is of urgent national importance to all British peoples. Scattered through newspapers and magazines there have been, during the past half century, brief and fragmentary allusions to this subject; but I was the first, I think, in 1872, to put it into consecutive book form, and to endeavour to make a comprehensive picture.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Open Air: An Anthology of English Country Life Another form of isolation has been brought by mo tors into country districts. One's circle of friends is no longer the circle of a ten-mile radius. On the contrary, one's circle of friends has small geographical reference. One friend is forty miles in one direction, another twenty-five miles in another, half-a-dozen are in Lon don, one in Hampshire and so on. Thus people living in a place may have no part in that place fundamentally, or in any place. Whereas in the old days whoever lived round about you, unless they were extremely difficult, you fitted into your circle of friendship. The more so cially gifted thus helped out the less, and the whole was leavened. Now, by more peremptory standards, we choose only those With whom we are 'in sympathy' the spontaneous functions of local life consequently de cay and the number of lonely old people must be le gion. Young people must earn their living in cities, so the country that is not within week - encl radius of Lon don is given up to the elderly and retired.

This book was released on 2017-01-10 with total page 958 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Rural Community, Ancient and Modern Rural social life in the final analysis always reduces to the problem of locality, neighborhood, community. There is no escaping this fact. And there is no successful study, understanding, or redirection in this field save it be in these terms. To be sure, community is said to be wanting in the country; and there is much truth in the statement. But the fact of its absence does not lessen its importance nor justify any neglect of its consideration. On the contrary, it would seem to offer a challenge to find out just its extent, to determine its nature, to rediscover its forces, and to organize its interests in every locality. For in truth the ultimate goal of all efforts toward rural social uplift is the development of the social unities, or, in other words, the achievement of community. About what nuclei or centres the unifying forces of the country are playing and are tending to crystallize is the foremost question involved in the rural problem. It is contended by some that the villages, towns, and small cities form natural centres and that they are to be the focal points of communization for the farm districts. This claim is not without justification, for it is at once apparent to the observer that country life in a consider able measure does revolve about such places. As evidence that the present development is largely if not altogether favorable to the town-centring process, attention is called to the changes being effected by good roads, more adequate and rapid means of transportation, and facilities for quicker communication. Outstanding among these changes is the resulting approachment between town and country along the lines of a closer affiliation of church, school, family, lodge, and club life, as well as in more intimate business relations.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The English Village: A Literary Study; 1750-1850 But the English village has a very great deal to do with the war. For remote as the sleepy stillness of village life is, in ordinary times, from the hurry of active affairs, there is not one among the most distant and old-world of English villages but has been stirred out of its quiet by the great war. The villagers of England have been swept into the mid-current of national life by the events of the past four years. They have taken a Splendid part in the great struggle, and their interests and concerns have m turn become m a new sense those of all England. For a century and a half certain great problems of village life have been growing in seriousness, and pressing with more and more insistence for attention and solution. It is inconceivable that after the war these problems should continue long unsolved. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
