This book offered the first comprehensive study of the enclosure
mapping of England and Wales. Enclosure maps are fundamental
sources of evidence in many types of historical inquiries. Although
modern historians tend to view these large-scale maps essentially
as sources of data on past economies and societies, this book
argues that enclosure maps had a much more active role at the time
they were compiled. Seen from this perspective of their
contemporary society, enclosure maps are not simply antiquarian
curiosities, cultural artefacts, or useful sources for historians
but instruments of land reorganisation and control which both
reflected and consolidated the power of those who commissioned
them. The book is accompanied by a fully searchable, descriptive
and analytical web catalogue of all parliamentary and
non-parliamentary enclosure maps extant in public archives and
libraries and offers an essential research tool for economic,
social and local historians and for geographers, lawyers and
planners.
