Description
The Invention of Essex: The Making of an English County The history of Essex is often seen as a tale of two counties: the rural, rural Essex of the past and the modern, urban Essex of today. But what lies in between? In this fascinating exploration of the county's development, Tim Burrows delves into the complex and often contradictory forces that have shaped Essex over the centuries. From the medieval market towns to the industrial revolution, and from the Victorian era's social change to the post-war suburbanization, Burrows examines the various ways in which Essex has been constructed and reimagined. This is a story of how a county has been made, and how its identity has been forged in the fires of history. Through a rich and nuanced narrative, Burrows reveals the intricate web of social, economic, and cultural forces that have shaped Essex into the county we know today.
