Whigs and Hunters
E. P. Thompson
Explore the political and social implications of the Black Act, a law of unprecedented savagery passed by Parliament in 1723 to deal with poaching in the royal forest. In Whigs and Hunters, E.P. Thompson shines a light on the violent conflict between the 'Blacks' and Whig nominees, affording us glimpses of popular discontent, political chicanery, judicial inequity, corrupt ambition, and crime.

My own particular favourite amongst his books is Whigs and Hunters, a shorter, more elegantly written work on conflicts between villagers and the state in the forests of 18th century England. – fuente
