The Enclosure of Knowledge: Books, Power and Agrarian Capitalism in Britain, 1660–1800 - Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History
Fisher, James D. (University of Exeter)
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.
