Agriculture And The Land: Richard Jefferies' Essays And Letters (Edinburgh Critical Editions Of Nineteenth-Century Texts)

Agriculture and the Land brings together previously uncollected essays on the changing conditions of agriculture and rural life in the 1870s and 1880s. These items, many of which are unknown to researchers, were first published in leading periodicals of the time and offer new insight into the trajectory and timeframe of Jefferies' career. The material offers fresh perspectives on the economics and politics of agriculture, the condition of the agricultural labourer, the use of steam power, the land question, education and changing farming practices.
