Recenzii

“This is an innovative book. It draws on a neglected body of documents to shed light on rural society in parts of Britain which are too often seen as peripheral to its economic and social development. It offers a great deal of food for thought that future historians would be wise to build upon.” (Jane Whittle, English Historical Review, Vol. 131 (551), August, 2016)
