"The Gentry, The Rise and Fall of a Ruling Class" by G. E. Mingay was issued as a stand-alone volume in the monographic series, "Themes in British Social History", published by Longman in London. This is the 1978 Second Printing. The book is in trade paperback format, and contains Bibliographical notes and references as well as an Index. The following is an excerpt from the cover write-up: "This is the first serious comprehensive study of the gentry from the Norman Conquest to the present day. It presents a rounded picture of a social group who once formed the political and administrative backbone of England. In their heyday the gentry owned over half of all the country's land. From it they derived enormous power and social prestige. Ownership of the land brought them not only control of agriculture (when farming was by far the country's largest economic activity), but also involvement in the development of coal-mining, iron-working, and other industrial activities, and in the development of transport. Professor Mingay shows how they came to acquire this power, and how it eventually passed from them He also looks at their social origins, their education, and their distinctive life-style; he pays particular attention to their role as magistrates and county administrators, including the controversial question of the part played in the overthrow of absolute monarchy in the Great Rebellion."
