Rural-Urban Relationships in the Nineteenth Century Uneasy neighbours? Perspectives in Economic and Social History Series

Langue : Anglais

Coordonnateurs : Hammond Mary, Sloan Barry

Couverture de l’ouvrage Rural-Urban Relationships in the Nineteenth Century
The essays in this collection seek to challenge accepted scholarship on the rural-urban divide. Using case studies from the UK, Europe and America, contributors examine complex rural-urban relationships of conflict and cooperation. The volume will be of interest to those researching society and politics, criminology, literature and demographics.
