This collection of essays is the first full account of the largest
estate in early modern England, against which the fortunes of all
other estates may be judged. Previous accounts have tended to
regard the Crown lands as a resource to be plundered by successive
monarchs in times of need: much of the monastic land confiscated by
Henry VIII had been sold by the time of his death, and the estates
had mostly been liquidated to meet the demands of expenditure by
1640. It is not denied in these essays that the estates suffered
from the attrition of periodic sale, but the estates are also seen
as a continuing enterprise of complexity and sophistication. Each
essay is concerned with the dialogue between the Exchequer and its
local administrators and tenants. The success and failure of
initiatives launched by the Exchequer is illustrated by examples
drawn from many communities throughout England.
