Synopsis

This study clarifies the agrarian and commercial motives behind the English Revolution, showing their connection to parliament's constitutional changes of early 1641, when it challenged the crown at the center of the state. Commercialization was associated with a new system of beliefs, and a more exploitative way of using the land, which affected the balance of relationship with the natural environment.
