First edition, 1980. Hardback. 192pp. Dust jacket. A million acres in area and more than two millennia in time are covered in this account of historic Lancashire. As well as sketching the main political and economic outlines of the region's history, P. J. Gooderson has attempted to evoke the characteristic way of life of different levels of society: the monks of Furness, the medieval townspeople of Warrington, the persecuted religious minorities of the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, the farming communities of north Lancashire, the victims of the Blitz and the pioneers of a post-war new town are amongst the groups considered. Dr Gooderson's earlier chapters fill in the pre-medieval background: the geology, the prehistory, the Roman occupation, and the period once known as the Dark Ages. Sketch maps and reproductions from old prints and more recent photographs add a visual dimension to a local history which captures the spirit of Lancashire's past. Book in good condition.
