Agricultural historians have collected and published a remarkable
amount of material in recent years, partly as a result of the
ongoing series 'The Agrarian History of England and Wales'. Missing
from the Agrarian History volumes covering 1640-1850 has been any
sustained analysis of agricultural rent, a perhaps surprising
omission in view of the enormous sums of money which passed between
landlords and tenants annually, and given the importance of the
subject in terms of our understanding of the general course of
change in agriculture and the economy more generally. In recent
years the availability of estate accounts in public archive
repositories has made available a range of data for the period
c.1690 to the First World War, after which the material is
voluminous and well known. In this book, based on research in
archives across the country, the authors have produced a new rent
index which will become the basis on which all future researchers
in the field will rely.
