American legal history is traditionally viewed as a series of
schools of thought or landmark court decisions, not as the work of
individuals. Here, N. E. H. Hull tells the pivotal story of
American jurisprudence through two of its most influential shapers:
Karl Llewellyn, father of legal realism, poet, and mercurial
romantic, and Roscoe Pound, iron-willed leader of sociological
jurisprudence. These theorists adapted the legal profession to the
changing needs of twentieth-century America.
Through meticulous archival research, Hull shows how the
intellectual battles of the day took place against a network of
private and public relationships and demonstrates how Pound's and
Llewellyn's ideas of jurisprudence sprang from a kind of
intellectual bricolage, the pragmatic assemblage of parts rather
than the development of a unified whole, that is peculiarly
American. Humorous, engaging, and provocative, "Roscoe Pound and
Karl Llewellyn" uncovers the roots of American jurisprudence in the
lives of two of its most compelling figures.
