Opis

Drawing on examples from across Georgian England, Elite Women and the Agricultural Landscape, 1700-1830 offers a finely-grained study of elite women’s relationships with landed property in Georgian England, specifically as they were mediated through the lens of their estate management and improvement. This highly original book provides an explicitly feminist historical geography of the eighteenth-century English rural landscape.
