Ebook: Financing the Landed Estate - Power, Politics and People on the Marquis of Anglesey’s Estate, 1812–1854

from introduction
The history of the landed estate remains under-researched and much
neglected until a recent renewal of interest in the role of the land agent.1
While various studies have explored themes such as agricultural rent, the
Agricultural Revolution, the impact of absentee landownership, improvements,
repairs, under-draining and landowner and tenant relationships,
they have rarely been explored within the context of a single volume. Each
individual estate was a complicated and complex melding of social, economic
and political relationships which were underpinned by a financial
thread.
