agromania

agromania
An intense interest in aspects of rural life

These were the years of agromania, the efflorescence of interest in all aspects of the rural economy- a passion that was easy to caricature but that betrayed a genuine shift in notions of political economy and priorities and values as well as in loftier and more superficial forms of sensibility.
