An enormous amount of research into British field systems has been
undertaken by historical geographers, economic historians and
others since H. L. Gray's classic work on English Field Systems was
published. Detailed local studies have been legion, generalized
explanations of the origins and functioning of field systems few
but influential in promoting further studies. This book both
synthesises and advances our knowledge of field systems in the
British Isles. An introduction by the editors outlines the sources
and methods of studies of field systems. There then follow twelve
chapters concerned with specific areas within the British Isles. In
their own conclusion, the editors consider the problems and
perspectives of field system studies in the context of the British
Isles as a whole. This chapter is an attempt at generalisation in
historical geography, generalization in relation to both existing
models of British field systems and putative problems which only
further research can resolve.
