Chapter 1: The Landed Interest -- Chapter 2: Cotton into Land -- Chapter 3: The Lower Orders -- Chapter 4: Expelling the People -- Chapter 5: Road Capture -- Chapter 6: Killing Grounds -- Chapter 7: Living by Rapine & Plunder -- Chapter 8: Institutions and Inequality in the Countryside -- Chapter 9: The Estate System as Market Failure.

Based on a detailed investigation of local sources, this book examines the history of the landed estate system in England since the mid-seventeenth century. Over recent centuries England was increasingly occupied by landed estates run by locally dominant and nationally influential owners. Historically, newcomers adopted the behaviour of existing landowners, all of whom presided over a relatively impoverished mass of rural inhabitants. Preferences for privacy and fine views led landowners to demolish or remove some whole villages. Alongside extensive landscape remodelling, rights-of-way were often privatised, imposing a cost on the economy. Social and environmental implications of the landed system as a whole are discussed and particular attention is paid to the nineteenth-century investment of industrial profits in estates. Why was the system so attractive and how was it perpetuated? Matters of poverty and inequality have always been of perennial interest to scholars of many persuasions and to the educated public; with this important book surveying environmental concerns in addition. .
