Sinossi
Offering a portrait of English village life a century and more ago, this book aims to capture the simplicity and charm of rural existence through the pictures and drawings of artists such as Helen Allingham, William Mulready and Richard Redgrave. The commentary and captions, which include extracts from the work of contemporary writers and poets, give background information and details about practices and pastimes that have today all but vanished. The rhythm and stability of traditional village life in the 19th century are portrayed through the respectable toils of the artisan, the aristocratic pretensions of the local gentry and the restless underworld of itinerant tinkers, gypsies and entertainers.

The dust jacket is in near fine condition (slightest edge crinkling). 9 x 10, 160 pages, 29 ounces XX [From the inner flaps] THE VICTORIAN VILLAGE is a portrait of rural life in England a century and more ago. The lives led by villagers, farmers, craftsmen and the lord of the manor are seen partly through the eyes of contemporary artists and writers. Country women fetch water from the well, gossip on doorsteps, tend the flowers and beehives in their gardens, knit and make lace as cottage industries. Children from an early age share in the work of the cottage and the farmyard, play on the green and in the dusty lanes, and go, somewhat unwillingly, to the dame school. Men work at a trade or on the land, ploughing, sowing and reaping, and for the harvest are joined by all the family. The rhythm of life in the village is broken from time to time by the visits of peddlers and entertainers, by the days when animals and farm and garden produce are loaded on to carts and taken to market, and by fairs and the round of Church and farming festivals: Plough Monday, Mothering Sunday and Christmas. All this is portrayed here, revealing the simplicity and continuity of traditional village life, some elements of which linger on today, while others have vanished forever. Codice articolo 002620
