Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the longstanding issues facing rural England, from the perspective of its history and the social and political context of its landed estates. Beginning with the Norman Conquest, the author discusses the economic challenges faced by English farmers from the feudal era onwards, as well as the influence of the Church and the legal system on rural life. With insight and clarity, they explore how theEnclosure Acts gradually drove small farmers off the land, creating a landless labouring class. The book highlights the resistance and unrest of rural communities, including the Peasant's Revolt of 1381, and the rural exodus following the introduction of the Speenhamland system. This work provides a well-rounded understanding of the historical and social forces that have shaped the challenges facing rural England today, offering valuable insights into the complex relationship between landownership, wealth, and social mobility.
