Opis

Early Modern Conceptions of Property draws together academics from a variety of disciplines, including law, economics, politics, art history, social history and literature in order to consider fundamental issues of property in the early modern period. Presenting diverse, original historical and literary case studies in a theoretical framework, it offers a challenge to conventional domestically-focused and land-biased interpretations.
