Abstract

Thirty years after the appearance of Lawrence Stone's seminal study of the crisis of the English aristocracy, Heal and Holmes have produced a much-needed general work on that much larger group within the landowning elite, the "lesser nobility" or "gentry." They have not, of course, had to work from a zero base. The last few decades have seen a number of important local, particularly county-based, studies appear. But this book is no work of bland synthesis. Rather, it guides the reader through an impressive reconstruction of a mental world.
