This article examines the role of particular ideas of the countryside in unemployment relief schemes. While interwar thinking on the countryside has received attention, it has not been examined in the specific context of unemployment relief. This article uses four case studies from North East England, namely the Team Valley Trading Estate (Gateshead), Hamsterley Forest Instructional Centre (Durham), Swarland model village (Northumberland) and Heartbreak Hill (Cleveland). All four projects took different approaches to the unemployment problem, but all used some form of rural rhetoric. The ways in which the projects deployed images of the countryside creatively recombined a wide range of ideas to suit their needs rather than being rigidly confined by particular schools of thought.

1930 年代失业救济计划中的“农村”言论

本文考察了农村的特殊观念在失业救济计划中的作用。虽然两次大战间的农村思想受到关注，但并未在失业救济的具体背景下进行考察。本文使用了来自英格兰东北部的四个案例研究，分别是 Team Valley Trading Estate（盖茨黑德）、Hamsterley Forest 教学中心（Durham）、Swarland 示范村（诺森伯兰）和 Heartbreak Hill（克利夫兰）。所有四个项目都对失业问题采取了不同的方法，但都使用了某种形式的农村言论。这些项目部署乡村图像的方式创造性地重新组合了广泛的想法以满足他们的需求，而不是被特定的思想流派严格限制。
