First sentence: The growth of housing studies as a distinct field of academic endeavour over the last twenty years or so has seen the publication of a number of good full length historical accounts of the main tenure categories in the British housing system - home ownership (Merrett, 1982), local authority housing (Harloe, 1995; Merrett, 1979) and private renting (Harloe, 1985).
