Sinopsis
This book recounts the long and fascinating transformation of rural society in England from a system of collective farming to one of individual, private farming. The author, a former Minister of Agriculture, presents a detailed account of the enclosure movement over two centuries, from the 16th to 19th centuries, drawing on a wealth of historical records, literary sources, and personal observations. The book examines the economic, social, and political factors that contributed to the decline of communal farming. It discusses the impact of agricultural innovations, land ownership patterns, and the changing dynamics of the rural economy on the lives of farmers and farm laborers. Ultimately, the book highlights the lasting effects of enclosure on England's rural landscape, village life, and agricultural practices, making it a valuable resource for understanding the historical foundations of British agriculture and society.
