DESCRIPTION:Seventeenth-century drainage of the English fens was a flagshi
 p project of state-led ‘improvement’\, which promised to alchemise unp
 roductive wetland commons into profitable\, enclosed terra firma. This pap
 er examines how drainage was experienced and navigated by local people in 
 the northern fens to illuminate how it produced differential improvement a
 nd contested environments.
