A Short History of European Law brings to life 2,500 years of legal
history, tying current norms to the circumstances of their
conception. Tamar Herzog describes how successive legal systems
built upon one another, from ancient times through the European
Union. Roman law formed the backbone of each configuration, though
the way it was used and reshaped varied dramatically from one
century and place to the next. Only by considering Continental
civil law and English common law together do we see how they drew
from and enriched this shared tradition. “A remarkable
achievement, sure to become a go-to text for scholars and students
alike… A must-read for anyone eager to understand the origins of
core legal concepts and institution—like due process and rule of
law—that profoundly shape the societies in which we live
today.” —Amalia D. Kessler, Stanford University “A
fundamental and timely contribution to the understanding of Europe
as seen through its legal systems. Herzog masterfully shows the
profound unity of legal thinking and practices across the Continent
and in England.” —Federico Varese, Oxford University
“Required reading for Americanists North and South, and indeed,
for all of us inhabiting a postcolonial world deeply marked by the
millennia of legal imaginings whose dynamic transformations it so
lucidly charts.” —David Nirenberg, University of Chicago
