The Law of Evidence in Victorian England: Cambridge Studies in English Legal History

Autor C. J. W. Allen
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 16 feb 2011
In The Law of Evidence in Victorian England, which was originally published in 1997, Christopher Allen provides a fascinating account of the political, social and intellectual influences on the development of evidence law during the Victorian period. His book sets out to challenge the traditional view of the significance of Jeremy Bentham's critique of the state of contemporary evidence law, and shows how statutory reforms were achieved for reasons that had little to do with Bentham's radical programme, and how evidence law was developed by common law judges in a way diametrically opposed to that advocated by Bentham. Dr Allen's meticulous account provides a wealth of detail into the functioning of courts in Victorian England, and will appeal to everyone interested in the English legal system during this period.

Recenzii

"[Allen's] analysis of the arguments put forward in Parliament for and against the various bills and his description of how principled support or opposition for reform combined with practical legislative politics are interesting and well-executed. Allen provides an able and enlightening contribution to an under-researched area, and his book should certainly be of interest to those concerned with the history of the law of evidence, as well as to...Victorian legislative processes." Jennifer L. Mnookin, Law & History Review
"Combining social, intellectual, and political factors and using a variety of theories of legal history, Allen has written an interesting story...a story not available elsewhere." Allen Horstman, American Historical Review
