"Early Modern Conceptions of Property" examines the roots and genealogy of conceptions of property dating back to the early modern period. Identifying the history of intellectual property and genetic property to that era, this book provides a stimulating and inter-disciplinary investigation of property, its early formulation, basis, and practice.
"Early Modern Conceptions of Property" draws together a distinguished group of scholars from an array 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 sophisticated theoretical framework, it offers a challenge to conventional domestically focused and land-based interpretations; examining such intangibles as intellectual property and genetic property, terms whose roots date back to the early modern period.
