FORMATHardcover LANGUAGEEnglish CONDITIONBrand New Publisher Description One of the most celebrated works in the Anglo-American legal tradition, William Blackstone's Commentaries on the Laws of England (1765-9) has recently begun to attract renewed interest from legal and other scholars. The Commentaries no longer dominate legal education as they once did, especially in North America during the century after their first publication. But they continue to be regularly cited in the judgments of superior courts of review on both sides of the Atlantic, and elsewhere throughout the common-law world. They also provide constitutional, cultural, intellectual and legal historians with a remarkably comprehensive account of the role of law, lawyers and the courts in the imperial superpower that was England on the cusp of the industrial revolution.The life and character of Blackstone himself, the nature and sources of his jurisprudence as expounded in the Commentaries, and the impact of his great book, both within and beyond his native shores, are the main themes of this collection. Individual essays treat Blackstone's early architectural treatises and their relationship to the Commentaries; his idiosyncratic book collecting; his views of the role of judges, interpretation of statutes, the law of marriage, the status of wives, natural law, property law and the legalities of colonisation, and the varied reception of the Commentaries in America and continental Europe.

However, for a collection of essays it is remarkable how well the various chapters complement each other. The book repays reading as a whole. -- Ian Williams * Cambridge Law Journal *The worth of Blackstone and his Commentaries, as a collection of essays, is not to be measured by the distinction of the authors of its various chapters although, in this case, it is difficult to imagine a more impressive collection of scholars covering such a broad range of expertise upon a single person's life and work. Happily, the quality of the writing, in this case, matches the outstanding reputations of its respective authors.I happily recommend Blackstone and his Commentaries as a collection of essays each of which is full of interest and which, taken together, provide an important guide to Blackstone's historic contribution and his continuing relevance for the development of the law. -- Stephen Keim * Hearsay *[An] excellent book [which will] form the foundation for any future scholarship on Blackstone and his commentaries. -- R.B. Bernstein * The Law and Politics Book Review *This is a very interesting and useful collection of essays, which show very clearly how, nearly 250 years after the publication of his greatest work, there still remains much to be said about the Commentator. -- Michael Lobban * The Journal of Legal History, 31:3 *Taken all together, the essays give a mixed answer to the question of the enduring value of the Commentaries (on the Law of England). Differences of opinion among the authors of these essays appear. They are united, however, in having something of interest to say in drawing diverse conclusions. -- R H Helmholz * Comparative Legal History * Review Quote The worth of Blackstone and his Commentaries, as a collection of essays, is not to be measured by the distinction of the authors of its various chapters although, in this case, it is difficult to imagine a more impressive collection of scholars covering such a broad range of expertise upon a single person's life and work.
