Guardian Bookshop Notes:

A lively account of the history of hunting in this country showing how it is deeply entwined with questions of land and power, class divisions and social mores. The book concludes with a critique of current hunting controversies, still very much a divisive issue in today's society. 32 b/w illus.

Publisher's description:

Nearly a decade of divisive debate over foxhunting in Britain culminated with the passage of the Hunting with Dogs Act of 2004. But the battle over the future of hunting is not yet resolved, and polarizing right-or-wrong debates continue undiminished. This book recounts the history of hunting in Britain and offers a fresh perspective on conflicts.
