A major contribution to debates about the origins of the Civil War,
this study of English forests and hunting from the late
sixteenth-century to the early 1640s explores their significance in
the symbolism and effective power of royalty and the nobility in
early modern England. Blending social, cultural and political
history, Dan Beaver examines the interrelationships among four
local communities to explain the violent political conflicts in the
forests in the years leading up to the civil war. Adopting a
micro-historical approach, the book explores how local politics
became bound up with national political and ideological divisions.
The author argues that, from the early seventeenth-century, a
politics of land use in forests and other hunting reserves involved
its participants in a sophisticated political discourse, touching
on the principles of law and justice, the authority of the crown
and the nature of a commonwealth.
