L. Hammond and Barbara Bradby Hammond is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The work explores the life and conditions of the rural poor in England during a pivotal era marked by governmental power and social changes leading up to the Reform Bill. The authors seek to illuminate both the processes of Parliamentary enclosure and the resulting labourers' uprising of 1830, shedding light on the struggles faced by these workers under an unequal system of governance. The opening of the book sets the stage for a comprehensive examination of the governing dynamics in pre-Reform Bill England, particularly focusing on the aristocracy’s overwhelming control over political and local structures. The text contrasts the experiences of the working classes with the prevailing narratives centered on the ruling elite, emphasizing the conditions that dictated the villagers' lives. It introduces the concept of Parliamentary enclosure, highlighting both its procedural complexity and the profound ramifications it had on the agrarian landscape, ultimately contributing to social unrest and the demand for better conditions among the working populace.
