Gillian Tindall takes us along the banks of London's long-buried Fleet River, past wells and into public houses to reveal the real but fascinating history of its tenants, traders, freeholders and landlords. We watch as this village is absorbed by the metropolis and observe its desperate struggle to keep an identity, despite being fragmented by railways, bombed and developed.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Fields Beneath is one of a precious handful of books (like Montaillou and Akenfield) that in their precise examination of a particular locality open our understanding of universal themes, as if the microscopic examination of one place holds the key to a better understanding of the nature of community, and the role of the individual within it. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Gillian Tindall\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1906011486\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781906011482\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Eland Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/15\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 282\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.75lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.80d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eReference and Research Bk News\u003c\/i\u003e 08\/01\/2011 pg. 24","brand":"Gillian Tindall","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47965068984575,"sku":"9781906011482","price":22.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_3a511674-44f1-4787-b6cb-48d820c80d94.jpg?v=1767278206","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-fields-beneath-gillian-tindall-9781906011482","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
