This book traces the development of agrarian ideas from the 1770s
through to Chartism, and seeks to explain why, in an era of
industrialization and urban growth, land remained one of the major
issues in popular politics. Malcolm Chase considers the
relationship between 'land consciousness' and early socialism;
attempts to create alternative communities; and contemporary
perceptions of nature and the environment. He concludes that, far
from being an anachronistic, utopian, and reactionary movement,
agrarianism was an integral part of the working class experience
and of radical politics.The People's Farm also provides the most
extensive study to date of Thomas Spence, and his followers the
Spenceans. New light is thrown on the Spa Fields and Cato Street
conspiracies, in which they were involved; but their true
significance lies in their contribution to English radicalism - a
key factor in shaping the politics of agrarian reform in the 1820s
and 1840s.
