What are some good books about preindustrial farm/country life?

For reference, I'm looking for stuff that captures this sort of feel:

The Oxen,

By Thomas Hardy

Christmas Eve, and twelve of the clock.
“Now they are all on their knees,”
An elder said as we sat in a flock
By the embers in hearthside ease.

We pictured the meek mild creatures where
They dwelt in their strawy pen,
Nor did it occur to one of us there
To doubt they were kneeling then.

So fair a fancy few would weave
In these years! Yet, I feel,
If someone said on Christmas Eve,
“Come; see the oxen kneel,

“In the lonely barton by yonder coomb
Our childhood used to know,”
I should go with him in the gloom,
Hoping it might be so.

Look into bucolic poetry. Examples include Hesiod's Works and Days, Theocritus' Idylls, and Virgil's Eclogues.

i could drown you into finnish books about preindustirla country life.

but you'd have to know the ebin language.

the book you're looking for is The Good Earth. nobel prize winner about preindustrial china by Pearl S Buck.

“Spring passed and summer passed into harvest and in the hot autumn sun before winter comes Wang Lung sat where his father had sat against the wall. And he thought no more about anything now except his food and his drink and his land. But of his land he thought no more what harvest it would bring or what seed would be planted or of anything except of the land itself, and he stooped sometimes and gathered some of the earth up in his hand and he sat thus and held it in his hand, and it seemed full of life between his fingers. And he was content, holding it thus, and he thought of it fitfully and of his good coffin that was there; and the kind earth waited without haste until he came to it.”

you gotta read it. you'll be hooked from the first page. she's never brought up in female author threads and I wouldn't even know her if she wasn't from my home state but she's a true master. i think her growing up in china gave her that beautiful style of writing. i don't think anyone has as measured and varied sentence structure as her.
