Description
The modern English countryside has been shaped by centuries of conflict and struggle. Martin Empson explores how rural labourers resisted the development of capitalism, fought to control their land and labour, and eventually built trade unions to fight for their rights. From the Peasants' Revolt of 1381 to protests against enclosure and food riots, this book uncovers the forgotten moments of history that have helped forge the modern English countryside. The story is one of resistance, resilience, and the ongoing struggle for social justice. Through a detailed examination of these events, Empson sheds new light on the complex relationships between class, land ownership, and economic development in rural England.
