Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Few have written more beautifully about the British countryside than Francis Kilvert. A country clergyman born in 1840, Kilvert spent much of his time visiting parishioners, walking the lanes and fields of Herefordshire and writing in his diary. Full of passionate delight in the natural world and the glory of the changing seasons, his diaries are as generous, spontaneous and vivacious as Kilvert himself. He is an irresistible companion. This new edition of William Plomer’s original selection contains new archival material as well as a fascinating introduction illuminating Kilvert’s world and the history of the diaries. ‘One of the best books in English’ Sunday Times 'Kilvert has touched and delighted (and mildly shocked) readers of his diaries ever since they were first published. New readers are in for a treat' Alan Bennett

Download or read book Family Formation in an Age of Nascent Capitalism written by David Z. Levine and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2013-09-11 with total page 209 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Family Formation in an Age of Nascent Capitalism deals with the impact of early capitalism on the strategies of family formation among four sets of English villagers in the period before the wholesale switch-over to factory industry. This era, roughly speaking from 1550 to 1850, has been variously described as ""traditional,"" ""preindustrial,"" and, more recently, ""protoindustrial."" However, the author sees it as a stage in the transition from feudalism to capitalism—a halfway house. The book begins by placing the study in the context of the larger debate concerning nascent capitalism, early rural industrialization, and the growth of population. Separate chapters then discuss the growth and structure of the framework knitting industry in Shepshed and the social implications of this economic change; the patterns of immigration, population turnover, and generational replacement in Shepshed and Bottesford; and industrial involution and domestic organization in 1851. Subsequent chapters deal with the demographic implications of rural industrialization; the relationship between economic opportunity and family formation; and relationships among the expectation of marriage, bridal pregnancy, and illegitimacy.
Download or read book Kilvert the Victorian written by David Lockwood and published by Learning Links. This book was released on 1995-01 with total page 339 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: New paper edition of Kilvert's now famous diaries. Initially written without a view for publication, they are remarkable for their spontaneity and unrevised immediacy. In this new selection, Lockwood retains the charming descriptions of the British countryside as well as the romances; Kilvert fell in love several times during the nine years of his diaries. Lockwood also shows Kilvert "in his town clothes", a man of his times, visiting galleries and the Great Exhibition, fascinated by scientific discoveries, and becoming a tourist as the British railway network began expansion. Readers will have a delightful visit to the 1870s through the words of one of England's finest writers.
Download or read book Leisure in the Industrial Revolution written by Hugh Cunningham and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-07-01 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: First published in 1980. This book is a study of what different classes of society understood by leisure and how they enjoyed it. It argues that many of the assumptions which have underlain the history of leisure are misleading, and in particular the notions that there was a vacuum in popular leisure in the early Industrial Revolution; that with industrialisation there was sharp discontinuity with the past; that cultural forms diffuse themselves only down the social scale, and that leisure helped ease class distinctions. An alternative interpretation is suggested in which popular culture can be seen as an active agent as well as a victim. This title will be of interest to students of history.
