Book Synopsis
Tracing the emergence of the concept of self-ownership from debates about liberty and property in seventeenth-century England.

Trade Review

“Sabbadini's detailed and persuasive study of the discourses of property and self-ownership in mid-seventeenth-century England provides an important corrective to the Lockean idea of self-ownership in pursuit of the liberal tradition. But just as importantly, by tying property and self-ownership to slavery, he reveals how forms of economic dependence are working to undermine notions of individual freedom in contemporary society, with potentially explosive results.” Journal of British Studies
