Mary Hardy and her World 1773-1809: The four-volume set

English

By (author): Margaret Bird

This four-volume study analyses and interprets what an unusual eighteenth-century female diarist has to tell us about rapid change and the response to new social and economic forces. Mary Hardy sheds light on industrial, commercial and working life in the East Anglian countryside. Actively engaged in the family business of farming and brewing, she describes the dynamic world of her time with a precision which the majority of literary sources cannot match. Each volume, designed for both the general reader and the specialist, stands on its own and explores a series of linked themes. Each has meticulous sidenotes, a bibliography and an extensive index. The full set of four volumes is offered at a reduced price. See more
