Incorporating original archival research and a series of critiques of recent accounts of economic development in pre-modern England, in The Origin of Capitalism in England 1400-1600, Spencer Dimmock has produced a challenging and multi-layered account of a historical rupture in English feudal society which led to the first sustained transition to agrarian capitalism and consequent industrial revolution.

The world-shaking forced evictions of English peasants during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries are treated by most historians as largely a 'Tudor myth'. For them, the peasantry disappeared much later through fair means thanks to industrialisation and trade. Centred on close scrutiny of the royal commission of 1517 – 'England's Second Domesday' – this book overturns these accounts. It demonstrates, unequivocally, that capitalism carved fundamental and irreversible breaches into the English countryside between 1400 and 1620. It began, grew and thrived on widespread illegal clearances of rural people and their culture by the English ruling class, long before the British industrial revolution.

England's Second Domesday and the Expulsion of the English Peasantry offers an innovative account of the forced evictions of English peasants during the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. The book conclusively shows that these world-shattering events were more than just a ‘Tudor myth’.While most historians agree that the English peasantry disappeared much later through fairer means such as industrialization and trade, Spencer Dimmock argues that capitalism carved fundamental and irreversible breaches into the English countryside between 1400 and 1620. Through a close examination of the royal commission of 1517 – ‘England's Second Domesday’ – the book shows that the transition to capitalism preceded the British industrial revolution, and that it relied on the widespread illegal clearances of rural people and their culture by the English ruling class.
