"Americanization of the Common Law" remains one of the standard
works on the transformation of law in America from the late
colonial period to the end of the early republic. In a
straightforward manner, William E. Nelson analyzes the profound
ideological movement that grew out of the American Revolution and
caused substantial structural change in the legal and social order
of Massachusetts and, by extension, in the nation at large. The
Revolution, Nelson argues, transformed a hierarchical and
communitarian legal and social order into an egalitarian and
individualistic one.
For this edition, Nelson has written a new preface in which he
discusses the book's initial reception and the relevant
historiographical issues that have arisen since it was first
published in 1975.
