Produktbeschreibung
A quiet revolution unfolds in an English village through the patient eyes of its author. Change In The Village captures a world in transition, where field and loom meet new practices, and the pace of modern life presses on traditional ways. This is a vivid, accessible rural sociological study and village life memoir rolled into one. George Sturt's portraits of farm labour, shop horizons, and crop cycles illuminate how agricultural modernization reshapes daily life, class and labour relations, and the very rhythm of community. Told with clarity and measured empathy, the book surveys an early twentieth England rarely seen in contemporary retellings-yet still recognisable to readers drawn to rural life classics and English countryside setting. Beyond story, the work holds enduring literary and historical significance: a touchstone for history enthusiasts, teachers, and students of social change. It offers fertile material for classroom discussion and scholarly reference, bridging memoir and analysis with enduring resonance. The prose honours Sturt's contemporaries while standing firmly on its own as a lucid, humane account of how a village-and its people-navigates disruption. Selling points: out of print for decades and now republished by Alpha Editions; restored for today's and future generations; more than a reprint - a collector's item and a cultural treasure. Ideal for curious readers and serious collectors alike, this edition invites reflection on memory, work, and the continuing story of rural life in the English countryside.
Autorenporträt
George Sturt, an eminent English writer and diarist, is notably remembered for his insightful contributions to the field of social history and literature. Born on May 15, 1863, in Surrey, Sturt took up the cause of delineating rural life in England through his meticulous writings. He is most famous for 'Change in the Village' (1912), a discerning examination of the transforming rural landscape in the face of modernization and industrialization. His works vividly capture the essence of village life, embodying its rhythms, challenges, and the impact of social change upon the local peasantry. Sturt's literary style combines a naturalistic attention to detail with a profound empathic connection to the working-class subjects of his studies. His authorship is characterized by a blend of narrative and analysis, where empirical observations are interwoven with personal reflections, thereby providing readers with a nuanced understanding of the era's socioeconomic shifts. The importance of Sturt's works transcends mere historical documentation; they offer a poignant commentary on the universal human condition as it grapples with change and continuity. Sturt's legacy is cemented in the canon of English literature through his unique brand of scholarly storytelling that illuminates the past while resonating with contemporary readers.
