A volume dealing with the regional and local history of South East England. The authors have tried to show the diversity that can be found within the region as well as common characteristics which illustrate the local peculiarities of the area. The works in the series offer a synthesis of both historical and archaeological work in local areas. Each region is covered in two linked but independent volumes, the first covering the period up to AD 1000 and necessarily relying on archaeological data, and the second bringing the story up to modern times. It aims to portray life as it was experienced by the majority of people of South Britain or England as it was to become.

Seller: The London Bookworm, East Sussex, United Kingdom
Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First Edition. Hardback. First Edition. The South East From AD 1000. Sunned spine to D/J. In this latest volume, the author examine the history of the people who have lived in the South East of England - in practice the modern counties of Surrey, kent, East and West Sussex and Greater London south of the Thames - from late Anglo-Saxon times to the present. Although London itself is not given separate treatment in the sweries, its growing influence on settlement, transport, economy and society in even the most distant corners of the South East is, inevitably, one of the major features of the book. The authors have two principal concerns: to describe the development of the community across the thousand-year span; and to examine the changes to the physical setting in which it takes place. Landscape and society are thus given equal emphasis throughout. The authors pay due attention to the great historical events that have had an impact on the region - wars, plagues, technological change and socio-cultural trends amongst them - but they are also at pains to stress the underlying continuity of rual and urban life. As well as exploring the interaction of economic, social and landscape history, the author also acknowledge the cultural dimension of the ordinary lives they are describing: they show how people themselves became increasingly aware of their environment, and how the landscape has in its turn influenced the art and literature of those who live within it. But the picture is not one of unclouded progress. The authors identify the South East today as one of the problem regions of the developed world, with dense settlement, severe competition for land, and the accelerating erosion of ehat countryside remains. One of ther strongest features in this admirable book is the attention it gives to explaining such contemporary problems through an understanding of their historical origins. The authors move with equal confidence from remote hamlets in the Sussex Downs to the crowded tenements of Lambeth, from prosperous market towns like Ashford, Guildford and Tonbridge to the avenues, crescents and closes of South London's surburbia. All have made theior distinctive contribution to the South East as it is today, and all find their appropriate place in the splendidly readable survey.
