Robert Bakewell is usually regarded as one of the legendary pioneers of the agricultural revolution in late eighteenth-century Britain. However, this book examines the ideas and techniques of earlier generations of agricultural and sporting improvers in the seventeenth and eighteenth centuries, demonstrating earlier sources of many of Bakewell's opinions and procedures.
