Description
The Decline of an English Village by Robin Page First published in 1974, this book's original message struck a chord with critics and readers alike. Now, forty-five years on, Robin Page revisits the themes of community, tradition, and the impact of modernisation on rural England. In this updated edition, he explores the driving forces behind the decline of village life, including greed, political ineptitude, and social indifference. Page reflects on his own experiences of rural life, raising sensitive topics such as the intensification of farming, over-population, and environmental degradation. He shares his concern for the loss of wildlife in England and his passion for preserving the countryside and its wildlife. This book is a thought-provoking exploration of the tragedy behind a countryside increasingly misused and abused in the name of urbanisation and industrialisation. With a new introduction, this edition offers a timely and thought-provoking examination of the issues facing rural England today.
