About this product
Product Information
With antecedents dating back to the Middle Ages, the community garden is more popular than ever as a means of procuring the freshest food possible and instilling community cohesion. But as Micheline Nilsen shows, the small-garden movement, which gained impetus in the nineteenth century as rural workers crowded into industrial cities, was for a long time primarily a repository of ideas concerning social reform, hygienic improvement, and class mobility.

Reviews
A much-needed addition to the literature on urban garden programs. This is a unique and substantial contribution and will undoubtedly become the go-to book on the history of allotments. It will prove invaluable to the fast-growing field of urban gardening and agriculture., The Working Man's Green Space is outstanding in its comparison of allotment garden issues in England, France, and Germany between 1870 and 1919. Nilsen also looks at the utilitarian and aesthetic dimensions of allotment gardening and thus adds valuable facets to the complex history of allotment gardening in Europe., The Working Man's Greene Space gives a concise overview of the history of allotments in England, Germany, and France in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries., Nilsen draws on a body of evidence...with emphasis placed on legal documents, parliamentary reports, and association bylaws, rather than horticultural manuals and periodicals. This selection results in a narrative that is somewhat drier than Willes's survey, but significant for the precise regulatory history it provides. Nilsen's study is substantial, and her study of English allotment gardens will appeal to Victorianists with interest in design, the history of land use, and working-class culture., Nilsen's well-researched and ambitious cross-cultural perspective provides insight into the origins of the urban garden movement and into the social and political value of the allotment garden that is both deeply connected to but also transcends time and place.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
