   The best book I know of on that transition is E. W. Bovill's English Country Life, 1780-1830.

   Incidentally, his Golden Trade of the Moors is one of the best history books I've ever read.

   The best thing I've been reading lately is E. W. Bovill's English Country Life 1780-1830. Boring title, but a great book. His Golden Trade of the Moors is fabulous.
