Cultural History of Law

Gary Watt is Professor in the School of Law at the University of Warwick, UK

The series and its 230+ high-quality and well-placed illustrations represent an impressive feat of editing: indexes are accurate and generally comprehensive, and the thorough bibliographies will be useful to those seeking an introduction to the major themes ... These introductions should be of great use to scholars from across the periods, both for the summaries they provide of the present state of each field, and for the range of strategies they collectively offer to those seeking to tackle research in these fields in the future., Law & LiteratureThe entire work is inspiring reading ... Specialist readers will find stimulating and advanced aspects in many of the articles; an undertaking that, despite its roots in the English-speaking and cultural area, should definitely find German readers and recipients., Rechtsgeschichte (Bloomsbury Translation)
