Landlords and Tenants in Britain, 1440-1660: Tawney's Agrarian Problem Revisited
Jane Whittle
R.H. Tawney's 'Agrarian Problem in the Sixteenth Century' (1912) surveyed landlord-tenant relations in Britain from 1440 to1660, the period of emergent capitalism and rapidly changing property relations that stands between the end of serfdom and the more firmly capitalist system of the eighteenth century. Here, Tawney's book is re-evaluated by leading experts in agrarian and legal history and those who have conducted important local studies. The balance of power between landlords and tenants determined how the wealth of agrarian England was divided in this crucial period of economic development - this book reveals how this struggle was played out.
