| Abstract
|
:
|
The English countryside in the nineteenth century experienced the shifting power struggle from the great landed estates towards democratization. Challenging received scholarship that the landed estates declined in power and patronage Bujak places the Victorian globalization of trade alongside the democratization of the English countryside. By doing so he reveals that the economic decline of the great landed estates was balanced by their continued social and political influence in the countryside up to the Great War. With its focus on Suffolk, a county at the forefront of agricultural improvement and thus hardest hit by the agricultural depression, the patterns revealed by England's Rural Realm demonstrates the durability of the great estate system across the English countryside.
