Through the nineteenth century the Knight family embarked on the largest upland reclamation scheme in southern England, on the biggest remaining area of uninhabited land. Their efforts were enormously costly, and only a partial success. The story of thwarted agricultural 'improvement' was told by C.S. Orwin's 'The Reclamation of Exmoor', first published in 1929. With funding from The Leverhulme Trust, Henry French, Ralph Fyfe and Leonard Baker have undertaken a new study of the reclamation of the Royal Forest. Based on their findings, this book rewrites the reclamation of Exmoor in several ways.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHenry French \u003c\/strong\u003eis Professor of Social History at the University of Exeter, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLeonard Baker \u003c\/strong\u003eis Research Associate at the University of Bristol, UK. \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRalph Fyfe \u003c\/strong\u003eis Associate Dean and Professor of Geospatial Information at the University of Plymouth, UK.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 158\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e February 25, 2025\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Books by splitShops","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42412053037191,"sku":"9783031816574","price":80.98,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0601\/2623\/2711\/files\/653a31ae1185807c13678dc85f3bb891.webp?v=1741507458","url":"https:\/\/booksby.splitshops.com\/products\/the-reclamation-of-exmoor-revisited-rethinking-the-consequences-of-nineteenth-century-landscape-change-hardcover","provider":"Books by splitShops","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
