Recenzii
"These essays epitomize the deep and broad impact that William Nelson has had on the writing of American legal history. In them we see his passion for archival research and his creative application of new sources and new ideas. Nelson has not so much transformed a field as shaped an entirely new one and inspired one of the most vibrant intellectual communities in academia today."-David Thomas Konig, Washington University in St. LouisIt is, literally, impossible to overstate Bill Nelsons importance to the field of legal history, whether as a result of his prodigious scholarly output, his generous mentorship of young scholars, or his creative institution building. But his influence in all these roles is displayed in this wonderful collection of essays by many of Americas leading legal historians (all former Goliebs who cut their teeth under Bills incomparable tutelage)."-Larry Kramer, President, William & Flora Hewlett Foundation"Making Legal History is not just a tribute to one of the most productive and creative legal historians in the United States, but a fundamental contribution to our understanding of this countrys legal history. These fine essays cover a wide chronological and topic range, and provide the reader with an understanding of just how far we have come in understanding the role of law in American society under Bill Nelsons intellectual influence. The book is a fitting tribute to a great scholar, and a boon to students of our legal past."-Stanley N. Katz, Princeton UniversityOver the past forty years, William Nelson has played a crucial role in the amazing growth of the field of legal history. His significance comes in the first place from his prodigious scholarship. But as important have been the institutions he has founded and the young scholars he has nurtured. He has been and continues to be a model of the generous and creative senior scholar. The Golieb Fellowship at NYU School of Law, an institution he has long led, has offered a home to two generations of the best young legal historians, as they made transitions into distinguished careers. In the pages of Making Legal History, one finds a wonderful offering of some of their best work.-Hendrik Hartog, Princeton University
