Today's hunting debate began in the eighteenth century, when the
idea of the countryside was being invented through the imaginative
displacement of agricultural production in favour of country sports
and landscape tourism. Between the Game Act of 1671 and its repeal
in 1831, writers on walking and hunting often held opposed views,
but contributed equally to the origins of modern ecology, while
sharing a commitment to trespass that preserved common rights in an
era of growing privatization.
