Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book offers an unprecedented history of enclosure from its earliest origins to the present day. By tracing the development of this agricultural practice and the resulting social changes, the author illuminates the complexities of English rural life for nearly a millennium.

From the decline of the peasantry to the rise of large landowners, this book reveals the profound and lasting impact of enclosure on English society and economy. Drawing on a wealth of historical sources, the author presents a nuanced view of enclosure, challenging traditional narratives and shedding light on its consequences for land tenure, social hierarchy, and the landscape itself.

Limited edition, one of just 210 copies on heavy handmade Arnold's laid paper with the Vale Press watermark, printed in Vale type, with colophon set in a cross shape stating : 'Printed at the Ballantyne Press under the supervision of C. S. Ricketts the designer & engraver of the decorations." Henry Vaughan (1621-1695) was a Welsh metaphysical poet and medical physician. Born in the county of Brecon, his twin brother, Thomas, went on to become a Philosopher and Alchemist. The family came from a background of both Catholic and Protestant families and as such, both Henry and his brother were raised in a strongly religious setting. He studied at Jesus College, Oxford, and later served as a secretary to Sir Marmaduke Lloyd during the Civil War. He went on to practice medicine, and began to write both secular and sacred poetry, adopting the descriptive name 'Silurist' in a homage to the Silures, a Celtic tribe of pre-Roman south Wales that strongly resisted the Romans. While his secular works focused on his love of the countryside and his experiences during the Civil War, it is his religious verses which are best known today. Many of his works focus on the idea of death, regeneration, and rebirth, inspired by a bout of sickness in which he came close to dying, and he adopted the saying "Moriendo, revixi" - 'by dying, I gain new life'. Charles Ricketts (1866-1931) was an artist, illustrator, author and printer, but he is best known today for his work as a book designer. It was while he was working with the lithographer Charles Shannon that he met the Barrister William Llewellyn Hacon, a rich man who invested £1,000 in their Vale Press, and Hacon later became Ricketts's business partner in the firm. When a fire in 1904 destroyed the Press's woodcuts, the Vale Press closed, and the Vale Press type was famously thrown into the river. Ricketts was a non-believer, but frequently used the figure of Christ in his own artworks and was fascinated by the concept of religion within art and the human experience. In his 'Bibliography of the Books issued by Hacon & Ricketts', Ricketts elaborates: "Being a selection, the original spelling being retained. Edited by Charles Ricketts. With a frontispiece and border and initials designed and engraved by him. Two hundred and ten copies printed at fifteen shillings. The border made of honeysuckle petals was not used again. Note the cruciform colophon". A very handsome and scarce copy of the eleventh Vale Press printing. More images available on request. Ashton Rare Books welcomes direct contact.
