What can legal theorists learn from legal historians? What guidance
can historians take from theorists? What theoretical questions
underlie legal historical investigations? These are the questions
explored and answered by the articles selected in this volume.
Taken together, these papers show that the future of historical
jurisprudence is a bright one. This is a jurisprudence that can
yield insights about how to conceptualise legal change, how to give
voice to those operating outside of legal officialdom, and how to
understand the relationship between law and politics. The papers
selected range from the challenge to legal positivism from the
perspective of the history of the common law, to the latest
methodological debates in socio-historical jurisprudence. The
volume contains a substantive introduction and a detailed
bibliography.
