The country house and the neoliberal society.

Mod Br Hist

Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge, UK.

Published: January 2025

The English (or British) country house has enjoyed an under-appreciated social and economic revival in the last 25 years as a result of changes in the political economy associated with 'neoliberalism', which have benefitted both new buyers of country houses and old owners. One result of this revival has been the 're-privatization' of the country house, which has reduced its public profile. Recent interest in the cultural meanings of the country house-re-evaluated in light of empire, slavery, and nationalism-should take into account the greater insulation that neo-liberalism has lent these houses and their owners.
