Opened up by the revival of Classical thought but driven by the
violence of the Reformation and Counter Reformation, the terrain of
Early Modern law was constantly shifting. The age of expansion saw
unparalleled degrees of internal and external exploration and
colonization, accompanied by the advance of science and the growing
power of knowledge. A Cultural History of Law in the Early Modern
Age, covering the period from 1500 to 1680, explores the war of
jurisdictions and the slow and contested emergence of national
legal traditions in continental Europe and in Britannia. Most
particularly, the chapters examine the European quality of the
Western legal traditions and seek to link the political project of
Anglican common law, the mos britannicus, to its classical European
language and context. Drawing upon a wealth of textual and visual
sources, A Cultural History of Law in the Early Modern Age presents
essays that examine key cultural case studies of the period on the
themes of justice, constitution, codes, agreements, arguments,
property and possession, wrongs, and the legal profession.
