Formation of the English Common Law Hudson Reader in Medieval History John St Andrews University UK
The Formation of English Common Law provides a comprehensive overview of the development of early English law, one of the classic subjects of medieval history. Within a strong interpretative framework, it also integrates legal developments with wider changes in the thought, society, and politics of the time.Rather than simply tracing elements of the common law back to their Anglo-Saxon, Norman or other origins, John Hudson examines and analyses the emergence of the common law from the interaction of various elements that developed over time, such as the powerful royal government inherited from Anglo-Saxon England and land holding customs arising from the Norman Conquest.Containing a This much expanded second edition spans the centuries from King Alfred to Magna Carta, abandoning the traditional but restrictive break at the Norman Conquest.
