Book Description
George Ewart Evans was one of the pioneers of oral history. This anthology is drawn from his writings about the memories of men and women of a past era -- farm labourers, shepherds, horsemen, blacksmiths, wheelwrights, sailors, fishermen, miners, maltsters, domestic servants and many others. Ewart Evans gathered this unique testimony in rural East Anglia in the 1950s, just as mechanisation was taking over every aspect of life, preserving a wealth of human history and language in this fascinating and often moving anthology.

Where Are the Fellows Who Cut the Hay?
Author: Robert Ashton
Publisher: Unbound Publishing
ISBN: 1800182996
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 242
Book Description
'This is a book of life and why we should celebrate our roots before it is too late. Fascinating' John Connell, bestselling author of The Cow Book Where Are the Fellows Who Cut the Hay? is an ode to rural life, charting traditions of the past, how they were lost and why we need to reconnect. Exploring the relationship between everyday items and the communities that make them, Robert Ashton provides a snapshot of twenty-first century England. Where are the people who grow barley, milk cows and produce wool? How have their farming methods become less ethical, sustainable and natural over time? And what are we doing today to reverse that change? Inspired by George Ewart Evans’s Ask the Fellows Who Cut the Hay, Ashton gives voice to local people and travels rural Suffolk in search for innovation, interweaving his own personal connection to Evans and to the land. Part memoir, part social history, Ashton’s thought-provoking book is a manifesto for why, against all odds, we need to step back in order to progress. 'An earthy and immensely thoughtful book, full of experience and wisdom ...Eessential reading for anybody who wants to understand rural life, how we got here, and what we’ve lost' Patrick Galbraith, author of In Search of One Last Song 'We hear the authentic voices of local people, still in the middle of great forces of transformation. Now we hope these will create more sustainable and progressive futures' Jules Pretty, author of The East Country 'Informed by a deep familiarity with the county, Ashton reveals how an intimate knowledge of the rural past and present can contribute to shaping a meaningful future' Professor Gareth Williams, biographer of George Ewart Evans
