The Constitutional History of England

Autor Frederic William Maitland
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 9 sep 2013
Originally published: Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1908. xxviii, 547 pp. Although Maitland never intended to publish these lectures, they have long been regarded as one of the best introductions to the English Constitution. Delivered in the winter of 1887 and spring of 1888, and edited and published in 1908 by one of Maitland's students, Herbert A.L. Fisher, they cover the period from 1066 to the end of the nineteenth century. Rather than a narrative historical format, they focus on describing the work of the constitution during five distinct moments in English history: 1307, 1509, 1625, 1702 and 1887. They provide an entry to some of the major concepts he later expounded in his seminal work written with Sir Frederick Pollock, The History of English Law. Widely considered the father of modern legal history, FREDERIC WILLIAM MAITLAND [1850-1906] was an English jurist and historian best known for The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I (1895), written with Sir Frederick Pollock. He was educated at Eton and Cambridge and studied at Lincoln's Inn, London. Maitland was called to the bar in1876 and practiced until 1884, when he became a reader in English law (1884) and professor (1888) at Cambridge. He founded the Selden Society in 1887. Hailed for his original outlook on history, his works had a profound influence on legal scholarship and remain important today.

Recenzii

'So many writers can make law understandable; but there are not so many who can make it readable. Professor Maitland was a master of that art… The whole makes an invaluable introduction to the law of citizenship.' New Age
'On the general constitutional history of these periods after the first, disregarding the narrower history of the law, Maitland did not write again so fully as here. These portions of the book have, therefore, a peculiar value. They show abundantly the peculiarities of Maitland's work in his especial field: a sure discernment of the really essential, lucid statement, fresh interpretation, and stimulating views.' The American Historical Review
'Maitland was a great lecturer, for he combined perfect control over his material with an enthusiasm for truth and humanity which together inspired his pupils with an undying love for the man and an inexhaustible enthusiasm for anything into which he had breathed the breath of life.' Contemporary Review

Descriere de la o altă ediție sau format:
In this book, as in all he subsequently wrote, Maitland shows a rare combination of high speculative power with exact knowledge of detail.
