The English Town, 1680-1840 cover

Rosemary Sweet examines society and culture in English towns in an age of transition. Her authoritative study includes smaller communities as well as the larger industrialising towns and she describes the realities of urban life in an era of change - looking at concerns such as social class, manners, religion, entertainment, and the resilience of provincial culture in the face of the growing influence of London.

"Experienced urban historians will find this a thoughtful and refreshing book. Student newcomers will consider it a godsend."English Historical Review
