Outside the Midlands too, local landscapes were remodelled in line with the improving ideals of the era. Yet while we know a great deal about the men who pushed forward schemes for enclosure and sponsored agricultural improvement, far less is known about the role played by female landowners and farmers and their contributions to landscape change.    Drawing on examples from across Georgian England, Elite Women and the Agricultural Landscape, 1700-1830 offers a detailed study of elite women's relationships with landed property, specifically as they were mediated through the lens of their estate management and improvement. This highly original book provides an explicitly feminist historical geography of the eighteenth-century English rural landscape. It addresses important questions about propertied women's role in English rural communities and in Georgian society more generally, whilst contributing to wider cultural debates about women's place in the environmental, social and economic history of Britain. It will be of interest to those working in Historical and Cultural Geography, Social, Economic and Cultural History, Women's Studies, Gender Studies and Landscape Studies.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7ac 1500 onwards to present day2bicssc 7aHistory and Archaeology2bicssc 7aHistory2bicssc 7aSocial and cultural history2bicssc  aeighteenth century  aestates  aHistory  alandscape  aproperty  awomen0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/2957270zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c92938d92938
