Amanda Bailey's Of Bondage: Debt, Property, and Personhood in Early Modern England Out in May

Amanda Bailey’s book, Of Bondage: Debt, Property, and Personhood in Early Modern England (University of Pennsylvania Press) came out this past May.   

The book reveals dramatic literature's heretofore unacknowledged contribution to the developing narrative of possessed persons, not only deepening our understanding of creditor-debtor relations in the period but also casting new light on the conceptual conditions for the institutions of indentured servitude and African slavery.
