About the author
A British agricultural historian, Mark Overton is best known for his work on the economic and social history of rural England. Reliable sources identify him as a Fellow of the Academy of Social Sciences and a former Professor of Economic and Social History at the University of Exeter.
His research has focused on agrarian change in England, including farming, productivity, and the transformation of rural society over several centuries. He is widely associated with books such as Agricultural Revolution in England, which helped bring complex historical change into a form accessible to students and general readers alike.
In addition to his academic work, sources also note that he served in university leadership at Exeter, including as Deputy Vice-Chancellor. No suitable verified portrait image was confirmed from the sources I checked, so none is included here.
