How have legal ideas and institutions affected Western culture? And
how has the law itself been shaped by its cultural context? In a
work spanning 4,500 years, these questions are addressed by 57
experts, each contributing an authoritative study of a theme
applied to a period in history. Supported by detailed case material
and over 230 illustrations, the volumes examine trends and nuances
of the culture of law in Western societies from antiquity to the
present. Individual volume editors ensure the cohesion of the
whole, and to make it as easy as possible to use, chapter titles
are identical across each of the volumes. This gives the choice of
reading about a specific period in one of the volumes, or following
a theme across history by reading the relevant chapter in each of
the six. The six volumes cover: 1 - Antiquity (2500 BCE-500 CE); 2
- Middle Ages (500-1500); 3 - Early Modern Age (1500-1680); 4 - Age
of Enlightenment (1680-1820); 5 - Age of Reform (1820-1920); 6 -
Modern Age (1920-present). Themes (and chapter titles) are:
Justice; Constitution; Codes; Agreements; Arguments; Property and
Possession; Wrongs; and the Legal Profession. The total page extent
for the pack is approximately 1200 pages. Each volume opens with a
Series Preface, an Introduction and Notes on Contributors and
concludes with Notes, Bibliography and an Index. The Cultural
Histories Series A Cultural History of Law is part of The Cultural
Histories Series. Titles are available as hardcover sets for
libraries needing just one subject or preferring a tangible
reference for their shelves or as part of a fully-searchable
digital library. The digital product is available to institutions
by annual subscription or on perpetual access via
www.bloomsburyculturalhistory.com. Individual volumes for academics
and researchers interested in specific historical periods are also
available in print or digitally via www.bloomsburycollections.com.
