Powerful landowners for centuries, the Stuarts of Bute were key drivers of the many social, political, and economic changes that transformed south Wales between the eighteenth and twentieth century. This volume explores the Butes and their influence, setting them in context of a long, interwoven history of landed proprietorship, economic development, and the rise of the industrial middle class throughout Britain.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Griffin Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43697333993516,"sku":"9780708324639","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0379\/1365\/7388\/files\/9780708324639_d4cc41df-0441-4287-ae47-232785f7e20c.jpg?v=1759670589","url":"https:\/\/www.griffinbooksonline.co.uk\/products\/9780708324639","provider":"Griffin Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
