Parliamentary Enclosure in England


Book Description

Enclosure transformed the old open fields and common lands of England to create the modern rural landscape. It changed forever the life of many villages, but provided food for a rapidly rising population. Its methods and consequences were controversial - many rural poor lost their access to land - and the subject is still a cause of dispute.

Throughout he stresses the extent of local variation which make the subject so complex.
