A collaboration between leading historians Douglas Hay, Peter Linebaugh, John Rule, E.P. Thompson, and Cal Winslow, the book argues that the English legal system — and its gallows in particular — functioned as a primary instrument of ruling-class control over the labouring poor. Through a series of richly researched essays, the authors chronicle the lives of poachers, smugglers, thieves, and rioters, illuminating the everyday resistance of ordinary people against a property-obsessed legal order. Written with both scholarly rigour and passionate conviction, the work presents a radical reinterpretation of Georgian England that remains essential reading in the fields of legal, social, and labour history.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48887998349531,"sku":"2026200009322-SECONDHAND","price":10.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/9298692d-57c0-4746-9af5-d806f542ae80.png?v=1781752005","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009322-secondhand-albions-fatal-tree-crime-and-society-in-eighteenth-century-england","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
