In this original intellectual history, Anna di Robilant traces the
history of one of the most influential legal, political, and
intellectual projects of modernity: the appropriation of Roman
property law by liberal nineteenth-century jurists to fit the
purposes of modern Europe. Drawing from a wealth of primary
sources, many of which have never been translated into English, di
Robilant outlines how a broad network of European jurists
reinvented the classical Roman concept of property to support the
process of modernisation. By placing this intellectual project
within its historical context, she shows how changing class
relations, economic policies and developing ideologies converged to
produce the basis of modern property law. Bringing these
developments to the twentieth century, this book demonstrates how
this largely fabricated version of Roman property law shaped and
continues to shape debates concerning economic growth,
sustainability, and democratic participation.
