Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the idea of a community having an internal connectedness and shared interest, rather than an external one based on individual rights and responsibilities. The author traces the theme throughout history, from the common land ownership of English villages and their independent councils, through the feudal system, to the loss of village autonomy and the rise of private land ownership. The dispossession of the village communities, the author claims, resulted in a loss of freedom and happiness. The text explores the resurgence of community spirit in the Elizabethan era, when the old ecclesiasticism had been abolished and feudalism had waned. However, the author argues that this spirit was short -lived, and that the subsequent rise of individualism and capitalism led to the decline of community and the problems we face today.
