Description
This scholarly work by Edward Jenks provides a thorough examination of English law’s historical development spanning from ancient times to the early twentieth century. The book chronicles the major transformations in legal thought, practice, and institutions that have defined the English legal tradition.
Jenks explores how Anglo-Saxon customs evolved into the common law system, examines the significance of key legal documents like Magna Carta, and analyzes the development of Parliament and the judiciary. The work covers the feudal system’s legal implications, the emergence of equity, and the gradual codification of legal principles.
By 1911, English law had become a sophisticated and influential system that would serve as a model for legal systems worldwide. This hardcover edition from Gyan Publishing House preserves this important historical text for contemporary readers interested in legal history, constitutional development, and the foundations of modern law.
