This book investigates the causes and effects of modernisation in
rural regions of Britain and Ireland, continental Europe, the
Americas, and Australasia between 1780 and 1914. In this period,
the transformation of the world economy associated with the
Industrial Revolution fuelled dramatic changes in the international
countryside, as landowning elites, agricultural workers, and states
adapted to the consequences of globalisation in a variety of ways.
The chapters in this volume illustrate similarities, differences,
and connections between the resulting manifestations of agrarian
reform and resistance that spread throughout the Euro-American
world and beyond during the long nineteenth century.
