Chapter Chapter 5 in Financing the Landed Estate, 2019, pp 133-166 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter will explore politics as an important part of the financial landscape of the landed estate and not as a political process. It examines more broadly the expanding role of the land agent into politics. The landowner bestowed on his tenants’ political rights which gave them a place in the ordering of society. The historiography rarely discusses politics alongside estate relationships although the two are inevitably interlinked. Overall this chapter explores a remarkably efficient network of electioneering that was no less a part of the financial decision-making process of the landed estate.
