Description

Between the 17th and 19th centuries, the sport of hunting was transformed: the principal prey changed from deer to fox, and the methods of pursuit were revolutionized.

Questioning the traditional explanation of the hunting transition-namely that change in the landscape led to a decline of the deer population-this book explores the terrain of Northamptonshire during that time period and seeks alternative justifications.

Arguing that the many changes that hunting underwent in England were directly related to the transformation of the hunting horse, this in-depth account demonstrates how the near-thoroughbred horse became the mount of choice for those who hunted in the shires.

This book shows how, quite literally, the thrill of the chase drove the hunting transition.
