The English Peasantry and the Enclosure of Common Fields is a historical book written by Gilbert Slater. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the enclosure movement in England during the 18th and 19th centuries, which led to the privatization of common land and the displacement of many rural communities. Slater explores the impact of enclosure on the English peasantry, their way of life, and their relationship with the land. He discusses the various factors that contributed to the enclosure movement, including changes in agricultural practices, population growth, and the desire for greater efficiency and profitability. The book also examines the social and economic consequences of enclosure, including the rise of capitalist agriculture, the emergence of a landless labor force, and the growth of urbanization. Overall, The English Peasantry and the Enclosure of Common Fields is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of England, rural life, and the impact of economic and social change on communities.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
