Publisher Synopsis
Hudson's volume is an outstanding and very readable introduction to the period. * Thomas J. McSweeney, Law and History Review * An extraordinary achievement ... This is an immensely valuable book, authoritative and accessible. It is set to hold the field for a long time to come. * Peter Coss, English Historical Review * Rather than focussing exclusively on abstract developments in case law, Hudson's work is illuminated by an interest in social history. His concern for the non-specialist reader is again seen in the volume's plentiful inclusion of interesting, entertaining, and sometimes shocking examples of medieval law in action. Students of literature, as well as historians, will therefore find it an indispensible companion to early and high medieval views of justice. This is alandmark contribution to the study of law in the period, and will doubtless remain the standard text on the subject for years to come. * Sara Harris, Marginalia * Professor Hudson's volume is a worthy contribution to this ambitious projected series and fully performs the objectives its publishers proclaim. It will at once become essential reading for all those undertaking serious study of the development of the common law in this period and will rightly win its place alongside the classics of the genre. * Thomas Glyn Watkin, The Legal History Review * Read more...
