Reviews

Working the Land should appeal to those interested in or researching rural life, village life, agricultural occupations and farming ancestors. It makes an important contribution to the historiography of farm workers, the countryside and the labouring population by prioritizing the voice of the farm worker. ... It provides a valuable foundation for reconstructing the lives of agricultural ancestors, and should be of interest and use to anyone who encounters farm workers when researching their family and community history. (Sarah Holland, Family & Community History, Vol. 21 (02), July, 2018)
