Why did England's common fields vanish behind hedges? Harriett Bradley reconstructs the economics of enclosure, testing the old story against the evidence and asking who really gained. A sharp study that reshaped the debate over how open-field farming ended. Rigorous history for anyone tracing the roots of modern landholding. Follow the fences, and the money.

Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
