In their captivating exploration of the forest as a thematic device, Clark and Page delve into the intricate tensions that permeate our complex relationships with property. They examine the interplay between commodity and community, abstraction and context, and private enclosure and the public square. Drawing upon a diverse range of case studies, including the 13th-century Forest Charter, Thomas More's Utopia, the radical agrarianism of the Diggers, the fierce battle for the right to the city by the Paris Commune, and the contemporary forest protestors in Australia, Clark and Page shed light on the origin, history, and legal status of the lawful forest and its modern-day companions. While the prevailing spatial paradigm may favor private rights, this insightful book demonstrates that communal relationships with land have always been an integral part of our law and culture. Through meticulous analysis of these movements and their contexts, Clark and Page provide a compelling account of the evolution and significance of the lawful forest and its enduring connections to our societal dynamics.
