Law, like religion, provided one of the principal discourses
through which early-modern English people conceptualised the world
in which they lived. Transcending traditional boundaries between
social, legal and political history, this innovative and
authoritative study examines the development of legal thought and
practice from the later middle ages through to the outbreak of the
English civil war, and explores the ways in which law mediated and
constituted social and economic relationships within the household,
the community, and the state at all levels. By arguing that English
common law was essentially the creation of the wider community, it
challenges many current assumptions and opens new perspectives
about how early-modern society should be understood. Its
magisterial scope and lucid exposition will make it essential
reading for those interested in subjects ranging from high politics
and constitutional theory to the history of the family, as well as
the history of law.
