Elite Women and the Agricultural Landscape, 17001830

Elite Women and the Agricultural Landscape, 17001830 offers a detailed study of elite womens relationships with landed property, specifically as they were mediated through the lens of their estate management and improvement. This highly original book provides an explicitly feminist historical geography of the eighteenth-century English rural landscape. It addresses important questions about propertied womens role in English rural communities and in Georgian society more generally, whilst contributing to wider cultural debates about womens place in the environmental, social and economic history of Britain. It will be of interest to those working in Historical and Cultural Geography, Social, Economic and Cultural History, Womens Studies, Gender Studies and Landscape Studies.
