Description: The classic social history of the great English agricultural uprising of 1830, from two of the greatest modern historians.
Synopsis: The classic social history of the Great English Agricultural Uprising of 1830, from two of the greatest historians of our age. With the onset of the Industrial Revolution, capitalism swept from the cities into the countryside, and tensions reached breaking point. From 1830 on, a series of revolts, known as the Swing, shook England to its core. Here is the background of that upheaval, from its rise to its fall, and the people who tried to change their world. A masterpiece of British history.
Illustrations: black & white illustrations, black & white line drawings, maps
