Book Description

Publication Date: December 13, 1990

Drawing on intensive research in the local records of Norfolk and Suffolk, this detailed study identifies and examines the three most serious crimes of protest--arson, animal maiming, and poaching--in nineteenth-century East Anglia. Showing that this rural society was shaped by terror and oppression, Archer analyzes the climate of unrest, discontent, and desperation, and offers an important contribution to our understanding of life in the nineteenth-century countryside.
