From the Back Cover

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.
