Changes of literature in Rural England

Introduction

Understanding the language and the culture of the country side is important when one has to understand England. It comes across as a medium of social division and there are also conflicts about it. At times it has been comprehended that the changes in the urban side of the England are not really witnessed in urban suburbs. But the rapid development also has its effect and one can see that there was certain improvement in the way things are working in country side at that time.
