| Tóm tắt: | This book is not a complete account of the history and archaeology of Britain
between 1750 and 1850. The history books alone dealing with that century
fill several hundred metres of shelf space in my university library and one obviously
cannot distil all that information, or even the most important bits of it
into one, medium-sized book. Instead I have chosen to focus on aspects of the
material evidence of the period which throw light on what I consider to be an
important and characteristic aspect of the period: the idea of Improvement.
My (admittedly ambitious) aim here is to provide an enhanced historical and
theoretical context for existing and future work; to complement and contextualise
the numerous pieces of small scale and meticulous work that have been
produced in industrial, post-medieval and landscape archaeology |
