The Enclosure of Knowledge

Books, Power and Agrarian Capitalism in Britain, 1660–1800

Inhalt

The rise of agrarian capitalism in Britain is usually told as a story about markets, land, and wages. This study reveals that it was also about books, knowledge and expertise, challenging the dominant narrative of an agricultural 'enlightenment' and showing how farming books appropriated traditional knowledge in pre-industrial Britain.
