{"product_id":"unquiet-country-book-robert-lee-9781905119035","title":"Unquiet Country","description":"We rarely hear the past voices of the rural poor - the  labourers dependent on casual employment, the workhouse inmates,  the dispossessed. This book lets them tell their own story. It  is, frequently, a story of bitterness and resentment, and one  that bursts occasionally into outright rebellion. To many who  occupied the early-Victorian countryside, injustice seemed part  of the landscape.  Robert Lee draws on a remarkable set of historical sources from  Norfolk which show how the experience of poverty could lead  people into social transgression and political resistance. Using  dramatisations of contemporary accounts he presents a series of  disturbing true stories, and goes on to assess what each one can  tell us about the reality of nineteenth-century rural society. Insurrection, riot, execution, witchcraft, seduction - Unquiet  Country visits the dark side of the Age of Improvement.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50258253644049,"sku":"GOR010106946","price":9.9,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50285372932369,"sku":"GOR005132197","price":17.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1905119038.jpg?v=1751439106","url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/en-gb\/products\/unquiet-country-book-robert-lee-9781905119035","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
