Summary
"English law is often taught and understood in a non-historical way, but historical context helps us see how many of the ideas and institutions that we think of as being fixed are nothing of the sort. Accessibly written for those new to studying law, this book provides the fascinating 'back story' of how the English common law developed"-- Provided by publisher.
