Sir Henry Maine died in 1888 and since then his ideas have been
used by lawyers, historians, sociologists and many others. This is
the first book to concentrate upon what he said about the law
itself, and, as such, it explores the pioneering work Maine did in
explaining law not by reference to abstract analysis but by placing
it firmly in its social and historical context. Instead of
concentrating on concepts such as sovereignty he looked at the
realities of law as it was practised by professionals and
experienced by laymen. The result was a controversial achievement
stressing the reforming duties of jurists and citizens at times of
social change. This is neither a conventional biography nor an
abstract analysis of Maine's thought, but a demonstration of the
contemporary context and significance of his views.
