- By using the extensive estate records of the Marquis of Anglesey’s Dorset Somerset estate this volume explores the day-to-day complexities of estate finances. It explores methods of social control, investigates rental abatements, tenant repairs and improvements, alongside financial incentives to remain on the land. This 85,000-word monograph fills a very wide gap in our historical understanding of the management of large, landed estates in the nineteenth century. The existing historiography is more than forty years old, and this is the first book for a generation to re-examine the ways in which we approach the study of the landed estate.
