Peasant Europe

First published in the 1930s, Tiltman's Peasant Europe strays from the normal look at Europe during this time period. While much of the continent is concerned with "problems of international relations, industry and the future of armaments", Tiltman goes a step further than most writers and speaks with the common peasant to uncover their day-to-day concerns. He finds that most simply want consideration and a reasonable standard of living for themselves and their children. Accompanying the text are full-page photographs, most of which are taken by the author himself, which offer a candid look at peasant life.
