The period of the Enlightenment was marked by innovation in
political, cultural, religious, and educational ideas with the aim
of improving the experience of human beings in society. Key to
intellectual debates and day-to-day life were ideas about the law.
Many looked to Britain, and to the British, as exemplars of a state
governed by moderate laws under a moderate constitution. Britain's
laws and constitution were portrayed and satirized in almost every
artistic medium. A Cultural History of Law in the Age of
Enlightenment presents essays spanning the "long 18th century"
(1680 to 1820) which explore the place of law in a range of
creative and artistic media, all of which flourished in a
commercial society with law at its center and enlightenment as its
aim. Drawing upon a wealth of visual and textual sources, A
Cultural History of Law in the Age of Enlightenment 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.
