First published in 1895, Sir Frederick Pollock and Frederic William Maitlands legal classic The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I expanded the work of Sir Edward Coke and William Blackstone by exploring the origins of key aspects of English common law and society and with them the development of individual rights as these were gradually carved out from the authority of the Crown and the Church. Although it has been more than a century since its initial publication, Pollock and Maitlands work is still considered an accessible and useful foundational reference for scholars of medieval English law.Volume one begins with an examination of AngloSaxon law, goes on to consider the changes in law introduced by the Normans, then moves to the twelfthcentury Age of Glanvill, with the first great compilation of English laws and customs, followed by the thirteenthcentury Age of Bracton, author of another major treatise on the same subject. Volume two takes up different areas of English law topic by topic, or as its authors labeled it, The Doctrines of English Law in the Early Middle Ages. They consider land tenure, marriage and wardship, fealty, the ranks of men both free and unfree, aliens, Jews, excommunicates, women, and the churches and the King, before turning to the various jurisdictions of that decentralized era.The History of English Law before the Time of Edward I helps readers explore the origins of English legal exceptionalism and through the English tradition the basis of the law of America, Canada, Australia, and other nations. This work is of interest to legal scholars, historians of the Middle Ages, political scientists, political philosophers, and all those interested in AngloSaxon law and early law and society.
