Villages and village life, observed, remembered and imagined
Villages and village life, observed, remembered and imagined
The article examines how villages and village life have been represented as potent sources of memory, identity, observation and aspiration in selected works published by British and Irish writers between 1812 and 1912. In particular it considers how villages were valued as sites of continuity in the face of change, and also as indicators of the effects of progress and modernity on previously insular or isolated communities. The discussion centres on works by Maria Edgeworth, Mary Russell Mitford, Richard Jefferies, George Moore and George Sturt.

Abstract
The article examines how villages and village life have been represented as potent sources of memory, identity, observation and aspiration in selected works published by British and Irish writers between 1812 and 1912. In particular it considers how villages were valued as sites of continuity in the face of change, and also as indicators of the effects of progress and modernity on previously insular or isolated communities. The discussion centres on works by Maria Edgeworth, Mary Russell Mitford, Richard Jefferies, George Moore and George Sturt.
