Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the public rights to net and rod fishing in the River Thames and other navigable rivers in England, drawing on the Great Charter of 1215 and other medieval statutes that prohibited obstructions of navigation and fishing. Drawing from a comprehensive array of legal documents, the author contends that these rights extend to all navigable rivers, with exclusive rights to fish requiring specific grants from the Crown or proof of long-standing custom. The book explores cases adjudicated by the courts, while also discussing the social and economic consequences of these decisions, illuminating the tensions between common and exclusive rights to this valuable resource. This book will appeal to scholars and students of legal history, environmental history, and the history of angling in England.
