The outbreaks and collective violence arising from the tensions
existing within society have long been themes in the study of
British social history. This book, first published in 1983,
attempts to survey the whole range of these rural riots, to compare
and contrast them, and to draw general conclusions. Seventy-five
maps are included in this volume, each with an accompanying
commentary written by an authority on the particular subject. Taken
together, the maps show how the distribution of protest changed
over time, how particular forms of protest - riots connected with
land, with food and with labour - altered as Britain developed from
a predominantly feudal to a prominently capitalist society. This
title will be of interest to students of history.
