British Philosophy of Law, 1832-1900

Wilfrid E. Rumble Jr.

4.9/5 (13715 ratings)

Description:British legal philosophy from 1832 to 1900 may appear less diverse than it in fact was. Analytical and historical jurisprudence, as developed by John Austin and Henry Maine, were indeed the most distinctive schools of thought, but they were by no means the only ones. Accordingly, the volumes include selections not only by Austin and Maine but also by more obscure writers expressing quite different legal philosophies. They include proponents of natural law such as Charles James Foster and James Lorimer, defenders of the common law such as Herbert Broom, and an advocate of a 'social science' approach, Denis C. Heron. This is the first published anthology of British jurists and legal philosophers in the Victorian era. As such, it fills a large and unfortunate gap in the literature of jurisprudence. Some of the authors influenced, or foreshadowed, a number of twentieth-century approaches to law. In addition, the arguments of certain of the lesser-known contributors merit much greater exposure than they have tended to receive. Finally, the sources of many of the selections are inaccessible. Either the books from which excerpts are taken are out of print, or the journals in which the articles originally appeared are defunct. Overall, the volumes will be of great interest to historians of ideas, law, and the nineteenth century as well as jurists, legal philosophers, and political theorists.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
