The Enclosures In England: An Economic Reconstruction (1918) - Paperback

by Harriett Bradley (Author)

""The Enclosures in England: An Economic Reconstruction"" is a historical book written by Harriett Bradley and published in 1918. The book provides an in-depth analysis of the enclosure movement in England during the 18th and 19th centuries, which involved the privatization of common lands and the consolidation of small farms into larger ones. Bradley argues that the enclosures had a significant impact on the English economy, leading to the displacement of small farmers, the growth of industrialization, and the emergence of a capitalist system. The book also examines the social and political implications of the enclosures, including the rise of the landed gentry and the decline of the rural working class. Overall, ""The Enclosures in England"" provides a comprehensive account of a crucial period in English history and its lasting effects on society and the economy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
