Présentation de l'éditeur
Published in 1985 and described by Ronald Blythe in the Guardian as a 'great telling of a shocking story' Harry Hopkins examines the history of a bitter conflict that raged in England for over two centuries. Coming across an obscure poacher's grave Hopkins finds two contradictory headstones: one denouncing the poacher as a murderer and the other saluting him as a martyr. So begins Hopkins's quest for the truth and it leads him to an age-old battle between peasant and landowner where for the price of a rabbit or a pheasant men were murdered, transported as convicts and executed. This ancient struggle over game was not just about food for the poor poachers and their families, it was about social rank and the power of the landed gentry, the burgeoning class politics of the time and the harsh realities of rural life. Writers like Rudyard Kipling and politicians such as David Lloyd George all engaged in the debates surrounding the game laws and the effect they had on the families of those who were caught poaching. It was a bloody conflict and one that is as compelling now as it was two hundred years ago.

Hardcover. Etat : As New. Etat de la jaquette : As New. 1st Edition. This copy is in as new, unmarked condition bound in brown cloth covered boards with bright gilt titling to the spine. This copy is bright, tight, white and square. The unclipped dust wrapper is in as new condition. International postal rates are calculated on a book weighing 1 Kilo, in cases where the book weighs more than 1 Kilo increased postal rates will be quoted, where the book weighs less then postage will be reduced accordingly. This scarce work by a non-professional historian is perhaps the best book on the infamous game laws which preserved all game for the propertied and denied it to the poor. It begins in the eighteenth centuryand goes onto the twentieth century. This seminal work on the Waltham Black Act and the issue of poaching in the eighteenth century, being written in an almost novelistic manner but saturated with information and giving a real flavour of the time if not of the game. It is based on thorough research in local archives, it has meticulous attention to detail and is interspersed with apposite quotations from contemporary poets. It is one of those books that will live on and is unlikely to be surpassed. its engaging style and supressed passion make it irresistible. Ref R 2. N° de réf. du vendeur 036569
