Description

Explore the origins of the English legal system with this expanded second edition from Routledge. This text provides a detailed overview of early English law, covering the historical period from the reign of King Alfred through to the signing of the Magna Carta. Unlike traditional studies that create a divide at the Norman Conquest, this work offers a continuous look at legal evolution. It moves beyond simply tracing the roots of common law back to Anglo-Saxon or Norman origins. Instead, John Hudson provides a framework that connects legal developments to the broader changes in English society, politics, and thought during the medieval era. This book is an essential resource for students and historians interested in the Medieval World. It offers a deep look at how law and society shaped one another during these formative centuries, making it a significant addition to any legal history collection.
