Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
We rarely hear the past voices of the rural poor the laborers dependent on casual employment, the workhouse inmates, the dispossessed. This book lets them tell their own story. It is, frequently, a story of bitterness and resentment, and one that bursts occasionally into outright rebellion. To many who occupied the earlyVictorian countryside, injustice seemed part of the landscape. Robert Lee draws on a remarkable set of historical sources from Norfolk which show how the experience of poverty could lead people into social transgression and political resistance. Using dramatizations of contemporary accounts he presents a series of disturbing true stories, and goes on to assess what each one can tell us about the reality of nineteenthcentury rural society. Insurrection, riot, execution, witchcraft, seduction Unquiet Country visits the dark side of the Age of Improvement.
