First published in 1989 The Unquiet Countryside chronicles rural
crime and unrest in the English countryside from seventeenth
century down to the end of the Victorian era. The authors highlight
some of the most striking aspects of the countryside of the past:
the extent and nature of rural crime and protest; riots over food;
the Swing riots of 1830; poaching, arson, and animal maiming; the
relations between landowners and the rural community; and the
eventual new outlet for farmworkers in the growth of labour
organizations. The volume expands our understanding of the rural
past and directs new light on Britain's rural heritage. This book
is an essential read for scholars and researchers of British
history, agricultural history, and history in general.
