A Concise History of the Common Law
by Theodore F. T. Plucknett
In A Concise History of the Common Law, the English legal historian Theodore
Plucknett (1897-1965) takes the reader on a two-part journey through the history
of English law.
Part
1,
A General Survey of Legal History, is a dash through the centuries. It
begins with a description of the Roman Empire, whose destiny was to rule the na¬
tions and crush resistance, and continues with the empire
s
subsequent breakdown
and the formation of the English state under the Anglo-Saxon kings. Then the
steady growth of the common law under Edward I, the rise of Christianity, and the
development of a powerful papacy in the Middle Ages are examined with respect to
their implications for the rule of modern law. The survey concludes with the French
Revolution and the liberalism and reform movements of the nineteenth century.
Throughout, Plucknett stresses the conditions in political, economic, social, and
religious thought that have contributed to the formation of common law.
Part
1
is a more-detailed treatment of topics discussed in the first part. The his¬
tory of the courts and the jury system, the various types of law, crime and tort, real
property, and contract, as well as equity and succession, are laid out in chronologi¬
cal fashion. Important juridical figures of each era come alive: King Henry II in the
twelfth century; Cardinal Wolsey, Sir Thomas More, King Henry
VIII,
Sir Edward
Coke, and Francis Bacon in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries; and Sir Wil¬
liam
Blackstone in
the eighteenth.
An engaging writing style combined with substantial explanations, references,
and footnotes makes this work valuable for beginning students as well as those well-
versed in legal history. A detailed table of contents; three extensive reference tables
of historical cases, modern cases, and laws and statutes; and a comprehesive index
provide ample help for the reader.
Theodore F. T.
Plucknett was a legal historian whose lifelong passion was
the investigation of early English law and society. He dedicated himself to tackling
this specialized subject and was equally obsessed with explaining his findings to
those less informed. He was a fellow of the British Academy and president of the
Royal Historical Society from
1949
to
1953.
