Commoners: Common Right, Enclosure and Social Change in England, 1700-1820

封面
Cambridge University Press, 1993 - 382 頁
This is a paperback edition of one of the most important and original contributions to English rural history published in the past generation. Winner of the Whitfield Prize of the Royal Historical Society in 1994, 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.

第 6 頁 - no road here' And on the tree with ivy overhung The hated sign by vulgar taste is hung* As tho' the very birds should learn to know When they go there they must no further go...
