Commoners Common Right, Enclosure and Social Change in England, 1700-1820
Neeson, J.M. Publisher: Cambridge University Press, Cambridge Year Published: 1993 Pages: 396pp ISBN: 978-0521440547 Dewey: 333.2 Resource Type: Book
Commoners challenges the view that England had no peasantry or that it had disappeared before industrialization: rather it shows that common right and petty landholding shaped social relations in English villages, and that their loss at enclosure sharpened social antagonisms and imprinted on popular culture a pervasive sense of loss.
