Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book uncovers and analyzes a collection of central government records providing a rare glimpse into the efforts to restrain rural depopulation and control land use in 16th-century England. The author's study contributes to the historiography of Tudor economic and social history, shedding light on the impact of land enclosures on communities and the subsequent reactions of the government. The book utilizes statistical tabulation and analysis to present data on the number of people displaced, areas of land affected, and the legal responses taken by the monarchy. Through the Domesday of 1517 and other documents, the author argues for a reassessment of the complex and previously underestimated reactions taken against rural depopulation and the consolidation of lands into fewer hands. The study provides a valuable resource for scholars and general readers interested in Tudor history, the development of agriculture and its attendant social changes, and the role of the state during a pivotal period.
