The Age of Reform - the hundred years from 1820 to 1920 - has
become synonymous with innovation and change but this period was
also in many ways a deeply conservative and cautious one. With
reform came reaction and revolution and this was as true of the law
as it was of literature, art and technology. The age of Great
Exhibitions and Great Reform Acts was also the age of newly
systemized police forces, courts and prisons. A Cultural History of
Law in the Age of Reform presents an overview of the period with a
focus on human stories located in the crush between legal formality
and social reform: the newly uniformed police, criminal mugshots,
judge and jury, the shame of child labor, and the need for
neighborliness in the crowded urban and increasingly industrial
landscapes of Europe and the United States. Drawing upon a wealth
of visual and textual sources, A Cultural History of Law in the Age
of Reform presents essays that examine key cultural case studies of
the period on the themes of justice, constitution, codes,
agreements, arguments, property and possession, wrongs, and the
legal profession.
