| | | In the 18th century, increased sport and tourism began to supplement the use of land for agricultural production. Between the Game Act of 1671 and its repeal in 1831, writers on walking and hunting often held opposed views, but contributed equally to the origins of modern ecology, while attempting to preserve common rights in an era of growing privatization.
Annotation:
Landry examines how English literature responded to and influenced attitudes toward hunting in the 18th and 19th centuries and examines how social and economic policy created a nostalgia for the land and its creatures during the Industrial Revolution when urban laborers, alienated from country life, began to take pity on animals and feel longing for the landscape of the countryside.
