Fiue Hundred Pointes of Good Husbandrie

di Thomas Tusser (Autore)

Good Press, 2019

Thomas Tusser's 'Fiue Hundred Pointes of Good Husbandrie' is a groundbreaking work on agricultural practices and good household management. Written in the 16th century, the book is considered one of the earliest English works on the subject and provides detailed advice on farming, animal husbandry, and overall estate management. Tusser's literary style is characterized by his use of rhymed couplets and vivid imagery, making the practical advice accessible to a wide range of readers. This work reflects the growing interest in improving agricultural practices during the Renaissance period, and it continues to be a valuable resource for those interested in historical farming techniques. Thomas Tusser, a farmer and poet himself, drew on his personal experiences and observations to compile this comprehensive guide. His background in both practical farming and literary pursuits gives the book a unique perspective that resonates with readers seeking both practical advice and cultural insights from the 16th century. I highly recommend 'Fiue Hundred Pointes of Good Husbandrie' to anyone interested in the history of agriculture, traditional farming methods, or the intersection of literature and practical knowledge.
