This book offers an interesting interpretation of the hidden
culture of the early modern legal profession and its influence on
the development of the English constitution. It locates an
alternative site of political sovereignty in the legal communities
at the Inns of Court in London, examining the signs of legitimacy
by which they sought to validate the claim that common law
represented sovereign constitutional authority. The role of symbols
in the culture of English law is central to the book's analysis.
Within the framework of a cultural history of the legal profession
from 1558 to 1660, the book considers the social presence of the
law, revealed in its various signs. It analyses how institutional
existence at the Inns of Court presented the legal community as an
emblematic template for the English nation-state, defending the
sovereignty of the Ancient Constitution by reference to the
immemorial provenance of common law.
