"The Village Labourer, 1760-1832" by J. L. Hammond examines the lives of England's rural working class from 1760 to 1832. The book uncovers the harsh government and social changes that led to the Reform Bill, and how the aristocracy had control over everything and didn't care about the working class. It also takes a look at Parliamentary enclosure and how the agrarian landscape changed in England, which led to unrest. The authors contrast the ruling elite with the poor conditions of the people, and highlight the struggles that they faced.
