Generously illustrated, it explores demographic changes, charts the growth of trade, and surveys social and cultural change including the changing status of the Manx language. It discusses disputes over land ownership, considers improvements in agriculture and fishing, and examines the encouragement of industry. Throughout the book emphasises the distinctiveness of the Manx experience, connected to, but different from the history of England, and of Scotland and Ireland.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Tim Thornton\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1837651787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837651788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Boydell Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/24\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 512\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Tim Thornton","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46866965332223,"sku":"9781837651788","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_07d876ca-10b5-4a48-9ebc-b09315465298.jpg?v=1747453571","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-isle-of-man-1405-1830-tim-thornton-9781837651788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
