Good Read for those interested in Victorian England

This book was required reading for my History 302 class this term, and yet it still managed to be an interesting read, something that is shocking for college material. It tells the story of a parson and squire in 19th century England who alone would be totally uniteresting in the grand scheme of history, but together they engaged in a battle that was well documented in their diaries, and which gives a good example of the way life was in Victorian England.All in all, this was a very good read and a must for any English history buff.
