This chapter discusses the efforts of farmers to save agriculture after the Black Death. The first solution to the crisis in agriculture was to put former arable land down to grass. With this, dairy goods began to gain attention. Moreover, when landowners found themselves with idle grassland, the idea of the rabbit warren, deer parks, pigeons, and fish ponds became ideal solutions.Less

The conclusion examines the last gasps of the Hollywood novel following the collapse of the studio system. As the inner workings of the industry became less and less of a secret, the Hollywood novel began emulating scandal magazines and the burgeoning porn industry to stay afloat. By the 1960s, it had devolved into a toothless genre that offered readers little more than erotic fantasy of movie stars behind closed doors. Once the film industry implemented a ratings system in the late 1960s, several screenwriters managed to restore the integrity of the Hollywood novel, only now approaching their literary endeavors not as antithetical to film work but as the first step in bringing their R-rated vision of Hollywood to the screen.Less
