I can't read the whole book but I couldn't find anything in the Amazon article about land or enclosure.
The enclosure wiki article doesn't mention Luddites. The only thing I could guess at is that this process seems to have driven peasants into the cities to become workers in factories. But i thought the luddites were skilled if not educated upper middle class workers(like UAW autoworkers used to be) not peneniless peasants. Although I suppose some of them might have been employed as apprentices and developed the needed skills.
