| Summary | "A Short History of English Agriculture" by W. H. R. Curtler is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the development and evolution of agricultural practices in England from ancient times through the late 19th century. It emphasizes the impact of various historical events, societal changes, and technological advancements on the agricultural landscape. The opening of the work sets the stage for an exploration of the roots of English agriculture, highlighting the communal farming practices of early settlers in Britain and the growth of the manorial system. The text describes how land distribution occurred among groups rather than individuals, introducing the complexities of agrarian life, the communal use of land, and the eventual evolution toward individual property ownership. The author provides a glimpse into the operations of early English agriculture and the social structures that shaped it, laying a foundation for the detailed exploration to come in subsequent chapters.
