Youth Movements, Citizenship and the English Countryside

Sian Edwards is Lecturer in Modern British History at the University of Winchester, UK.

“Youth Movements, Citizenship and the English Countryside is an ambitious study that successfully sheds light on the often-overlooked relationship between young people and the countryside in the mid-twentieth century. It provides a new lens with which to view the changes to youth lifestyles over this 30 year period, and should be of interest to any historian of youth in modern Britain.” (Sarah Kenny, Journal of Contemporary History, Vol. 54 (1), 2019)
