This book provides a counter-balance to the traditional focus on
judicial decisions by exploring the contribution of legal scholars
to the development of private law. In the book the work of a
selection of leading scholars of contract law from across the
common law world, ranging from Sir Jeffrey Gilbert (1674-1726) to
Professor Brian Coote (1929-2019), is addressed by legal historians
and current scholars in the field. The focus is on the nature of
the work produced by the scholars in question, important influences
on their work, and the impact which that work in turn had on
thinking about contract law. The book also includes an introductory
chapter and an afterword by Professor William Twining that explore
connections between the scholars and recurrent themes. The process
of subjecting contract law scholarship to sustained analysis
provides new insights into the intellectual development of contract
law and reveals the central role played by scholars in that
process. And by focusing attention on the work of influential
contract scholars, the book serves to emphasise the importance of
legal scholarship to the development of the common law more
generally.
