Blackstone in America explores the creative process of
transplantation - the way in which American legislators and judges
refashioned the English common law inheritance to fit the
republican political culture of the new nation. With current
scholarship returning to focus on the transformation of
Anglo-American law to 'American' law, Professor Kathryn Preyer's
lifelong study of the constitutional and legal culture of the early
American republic has acquired new relevance and a wider audience.
The collection includes Professor Preyer's work on criminal law,
the early national judiciary, and the history of the book. All nine
of Professor Preyer's important and award-winning essays are easily
accessible in this volume, with new introductions by three leading
scholars of early American law.
