Product Description

Mark Gorman examines the key role played by popular protest in the mid-Victorian campaigns to preserve Epping Forest and other open spaces in and near London at risk of its unbridled growth. He shows how such places were venues for both radical politics and popular leisure, helping to create a sense of public right of access, even 'ownership'.
