This book situates the development of radical English political
thought within the context of the specific nature of agrarian
capitalism and the struggles that ensued around the nature of the
state during the revolutionary decade of the 1640s. In the context
of the emerging conceptions of the state and property-with
attendant notions of accumulation, labor, and the common
good-groups such as Levellers and Diggers developed distinctive
forms of radical political thought not because they were
progressive, forward thinkers, but because they were the most
significant challengers of the newly-constituted forms of political
and economic power. Drawing on recent re-examinations of the nature
of agrarian capitalism and modernity in the early modern period,
Geoff Kennedy argues that any interpretation of the political
theory of this period must relate to the changing nature of social
property relations and state power. The radical nature of early
modern English political thought is therefore cast in terms of its
oppositional relationship to these novel forms of property and
state power, rather than being conceived of as a formal break from
discursive conventions.
