Opis

During the 1920s and 30s, Labour embarked on a series of campaigns to take the message of socialism to the farms and villages. This book re-examines common perceptions of an antagonism between Labour policies and rural Britain in a study of politics and culture in the early twentieth century.

Recenzje

a very important book. It is important because it presents a history of the politics of inter-war rural Britain in the context of economic, social and cultural change at both national and grass roots levels. It challenges a lot of assumptions and demads that we look at the other parties in the same way.
