The Magna Carta has long been considered the foundation stone of
the British Constitution, yet few people today understand either
its contents or its context. This Very Short Introduction
introduces the document to a modern audience, explaining its
origins in the troubled reign of King John, and tracing the
significance of the role that it played thereafter as a totemic
symbol of the subject's right to protection against the raw and
absolute authority of the sovereign. Drawing upon the great
advances that have been made in the past two decades in our
understanding of thirteenth-century English history, Nicholas
Vincent demonstrates why the Magna Carta continues to be of
enormous popular interest. ABOUT THE SERIES: The Very Short
Introductions series from Oxford University Press contains hundreds
of titles in almost every subject area. These pocket-sized books
are the perfect way to get ahead in a new subject quickly. Our
expert authors combine facts, analysis, perspective, new ideas, and
enthusiasm to make interesting and challenging topics highly
readable.
