During the thirties a wave of important novels appeared which dealt with the life of the peasantry. For the first time the life of what was, in most societies, the majority was recreated in an articulated way and often in their own speech. The main cause was the crisis of the country communities: in Scotland, depopulation and falling wages; in Italy and Germany, indebtedness; in America, soil erosion and ploughing-out. The conclusion from the close match between the novels and the historical record, on experiences such as land hunger and water disputes, is that the more effective a novel is in its own medium, the more reliable it is as sociological evidence
