摘要

On the BBC Home Service's Country Magazine in April 1944, the commentator A.G. Street asserted that 'as long as farming... is treated as a charming way of life it will remain a hopeless way of misery' (quoted on p. xi). In short, Street was acknowledging the strong romantic aura that had long surrounded farming and in many ways still clings to it today. Part of this aura comes, arguably, from a perception of farming as a timeless, natural occupation, vastly different from the ever-changing, artificial forms of employment most strongly associated with the city. This book, edited by two geographers and an historian, and published by the British Agricultural History Society in its supplement series, helps us to challenge this perception.
