Produktbeschreibung

Enclosure changed for ever the life of many villages but helped feed England's rapidly rising population. Its methods and consequences were and remain controversial. Gordon Mingay's authoritative survey guides the reader through the complexities of the topic. He analyses the extent, and the impact, of enclosure regionally and describes the processes by which land was reorganised, and old practices transformed. In the process he illuminates one of the influences on the making of modern England.
