# THE CONTESTED COUNTRYSIDE: Rural Controversies in Historical Perspective
#
# A conference organised by the Rural History Centre, University of Reading,
# UK.
#
# Monday 18th September, 2000.
#
# The countryside is one of the most hotly debated and contentious aspects
# of modern Britain. Fierce debates take place in Parliament, in the media
# and among the public about rural issues such as hunting, rambling, the
# rural environment, and the crisis in farm incomes. But notwithstanding
# the high visibility of countryside problems in recent years, the issues at
# stake are far from new. The main aim of 'The Contested Countryside' is to
# set the British rural crisis in a long-term perspective. The speakers,
# all of whom are leading authorities on their subjects, will each take a
# different facet of the rural crisis and set it in historical context.
# Delegate participation will play a key role in the conference, with thirty
# minute papers to allow maximum time for discussion and debate after each
# paper. A brief final session will draw the themes and issues raised
# during the day together.
