English Landed Society in the Great War considers the impact of the war on these estates. Using the archives of Country Life, Edward Bujak examines the landed estate that flourished in England. In doing so, he explores the extent to which the wartime state penetrated into the heartlands of the landed aristocracy and gentry, and the corrosive effects that the progressive and systematic militarization of the countryside had on the authority of the squire. The book demonstrates how the commitment of landowners to the defence of an England of home and beauty - an image also adopted in wartime propaganda - ironically led to its transformation. By using the landed estate to examine the transition from Edwardian England to modern Britain, English Landed Society in the Great War provides a unique lens through which to consider the First World War and its impact on English society."--Bloomsbury Publishing. 410 0$aBloomsbury studies in military history. 606 $aWorld War, 1914-1918$zGreat Britain 606 $aAristocracy (Social class)$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aGentry$zGreat Britain$xHistory$y20th century 615 0$aWorld War, 1914-1918 615 0$aAristocracy (Social class)$xHistory 615 0$aGentry$xHistory 676 $a940.3/41 700 $aBujak$b Edward$01531244 801 0$bUtOrBLW 801 1$bUtOrBLW 801 2$bUkLoBP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793019903321 996 $aEnglish landed society in the Great War$93776721 997 $aUNINA
