Meanings
- uncountableAn intense interest in agriculture.
A wave of ‘agromania’ was triggered by the sudden appearance in the immediate aftermath of the peace of Aix-la-Chapelle of numerous tracts on improving farming – after more than a century of conspicuous silence on this front.
2002, Colin Jones, The Great Nation, Penguin, published 2003, pages 169–701 more example
These were the years of agromania, the efflorescence of interest in all aspects of the rural economy – a passion that was easy to caricature but that betrayed a genuine shift in notions of political economy and priorities and values as well as in loftier and more superficial forms of sensibility.
1918, Steven L. Kaplan, Provisioning Paris, page 413
