The English Peasantry and the Enclosure of Common Fields - Gyan Books
About The Book: Gilbert Slater's The English Peasantry and the Enclosure of Common Fields (1907) offers a critical examination of the enclosure movement in 18th and 19th-century England. Slater argues that while enclosures increased agricultural output and rents, they also led to the displacement of peasant proprietors, the erosion of communal land use, and the rise of landless agricultural laborers. He contends that the transformation from communal to capitalist farming structures disrupted traditional village communities, resulting in social and economic upheaval. Slater advocates for a new agricultural policy that emphasizes collective land ownership, agricultural cooperation, and the restoration of independent access to land for smallholders.
