Abstract: Hopcroft's central argument in this book is that wider issues of agrarian change can only be understood fully through studying factors at a more local level. Taking England, the Netherlands, France, Germany and Sweden as her main case studies she looks at the different local rural field systems that were at work and how these affected agrarian change from the 14th to 18th century. In particular she contrasts communal `open field' systems with less communal field systems. By comparing and contrasting different types of systems and different regions in this way, Hopcroft can begin to look at broader questions of how land was made more productive, how the poor became better off and how industrialisation was able to grow.
