| Zusammenfassung: | Between 1540 and 1920 the English elite transformed the countryside and landscape by building up landed estates which were concentrated around their country houses. John Broad's study of the Verney family of Middle Claydon in Buckinghamshire demonstrates two sides of that process. Charting the family's rise to wealth impelled by a strong dynastic imperative, Broad shows how the Verneys sought out heiress marriages to expand wealth and income. In parallel, he shows how the family managed its estates to maximize income and transformed three local village communities, creating a pattern of 'open' and 'closed' villages familiar to nineteenth-century commentators. Based on the formidable Verney family archive with its abundant correspondence, this book also examines the world of poor relief, farming families as well as strategies for estate expansion and social enhancement. It will appeal to anyone interested in the English countryside as a dynamic force in social and economic history |

Conclusion -- Appendix Between 1540 and 1920 the English elite transformed the countryside and landscape by building up landed estates which were concentrated around their country houses. John Broad's study of the Verney family of Middle Claydon in Buckinghamshire demonstrates two sides of that process. Charting the family's rise to wealth impelled by a strong dynastic imperative, Broad shows how the Verneys sought out heiress marriages to expand wealth and income. In parallel, he shows how the family managed its estates to maximize income and transformed three local village communities, creating a pattern of 'open' and 'closed' villages familiar to nineteenth-century commentators. Based on the formidable Verney family archive with its abundant correspondence, this book also examines the world of poor relief, farming families as well as strategies for estate expansion and social enhancement. It will appeal to anyone interested in the English countryside as a dynamic force in social and economic history Verney family Verney Familie (DE-588)122473094 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte 1700-1800 Geschichte 1600-1820 gnd rswk-swf Geschichte Administration of estates / England / Buckinghamshire / History Gentry / England / Buckinghamshire / History Sozioökonomischer Wandel (DE-588)4318539-3 gnd rswk-swf Gentry (DE-588)4156658-0 gnd rswk-swf Großbritannien Great Britain / History / George III, 1760-1820 / Biography Great Britain / History / Stuarts, 1603-1714 / Biography Great Britain / History / 18th century / Biography Buckinghamshire (England) / Social conditions Buckinghamshire (England) / Rural conditions Buckinghamshire (England) / Biography Buckinghamshire (England) / History Buckinghamshire (DE-588)4069709-5 gnd rswk-swf (DE-588)4006804-3 Biografie gnd-content Buckinghamshire (DE-588)4069709-5 g Gentry (DE-588)4156658-0 s Sozioökonomischer Wandel (DE-588)4318539-3 s Geschichte 1600-1820 z 1\p DE-604 Verney Familie (DE-588)122473094 p 2\p DE-604 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-04198-0 Erscheint auch als Druckausgabe 978-0-521-82933-5 https://doi.org/10.1017/CBO9780511495755 Verlag URL des Erstveröffentlichers Volltext 1\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk 2\p cgwrk 20201028 DE-101 https://d-nb.info/provenance/plan#cgwrk |
