Description: |
Examines changing attitudes towards country and city. This title reveals the shifting images and associations between these two traditional poles of life throughout the major developmental periods of English culture. |
Synopsis: |
WITH AN INTRODUCTION BY TRISTRAM HUNTOur collective notion of the city and country is irresistibly powerful. The city as the seat of enlightenment, sophistication, power and greed is in profound contrast with an innocent, peaceful, backward countryside. Examining literature since the sixteenth century, Williams traces the development of our conceptions of these two traditional poles of life. His groundbreaking study casts the country and city as central symbols for the social and economic changes associated with capitalist development. |
