Land agents were an influential and powerful cadre of men, who managed both the day-to-day running and the overall policy direction of landed estates. As such, they occupy a controversial place in academic historiography as well as popular memory in rural Britain and Ireland. Reviled in social history narratives and fictional accounts, the land agent was one of the most powerful tools in the armoury of the British and Irish landed classes and their territorial, political and social dominance. By unpacking the nature and processes of their power, \u003cem\u003eThe Land Agent\u003c\/em\u003e explores who these men were and what was the wider significance of their roles, thus uncovering a neglected history of British rural society.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Lowri Ann Rees\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1474438873\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781474438872\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 11\/18\/2019\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.90lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.00w x 0.70d","brand":"Lowri Ann Rees","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44860411707647,"sku":"9781474438872","price":28.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_187cf6ad-8527-4b71-8f58-51d05fb0b869.jpg?v=1709136018","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-land-agent-lowri-ann-rees-9781474438872","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
