While there is an extensive historiography which explores English agriculture in the nineteenth century, there has been less attention paid to individual estates and in particular the role of the land agent within their management, administration and participation in rural community relationships.

Recensioner i media

“The resulting volume is not only a delight to read but provides real insight into the way that a heterogeneous late-Hanoverian/Victorian country estate could be effectively managed against a highly fluid social, financial and political landscape. … this volume will appeal across the board, from enthusiastic amateurs to serious scholars of rural history, social relations and the landed aristocracy. … it breaks genuinely new ground.” (Peter Jones, Family & Community History, Vol. 22 (3), October, 2019)
