Description

Approaching the legal profession through the lens of cultural history, Wes Pue explores the social roles that lawyers imagined for themselves in England and its empire from the late-eighteenth to the early twentieth century. Each chapter focuses on a moment when lawyers sought to reshape their profession while at the same time imagining they were shaping nation and empire in the process. As an exploration of the relationship between legal professionals and liberalism, this book draws attention to recurrent tensions in between how lawyers have best assured their own economic well-being while simultaneously advancing the causes of liberty, cultural authority, stability, and continuity. Review The many admirers of Wes Pue’s distinctive approach to the history of the legal profession will not be disappointed by this latest collection of his work, the culmination of decades of pioneering research on lawyers, their corporate culture, and their socio-political engagements. In a series of perceptive microstudies traversing Imperial Britain and the British Empire, informed by wide-ranging theoretical and multi-disciplinary perspectives, Pue unravels the complexities and contradictions of professional rhetoric and the lived reality of legal lives. Author: Wilfrid Prest, Professor Emeritus of History and of Law at the University of Adelaide Book Description In a series of thought-provoking essays, Wes Pue explores the social roles lawyers imagined for themselves in England and its empire from the late eighteenth to the mid-twentieth century.
