Description
A revised edition of J. C. Holt's authoritative study of Magna Carta, offering in-depth analysis of England's most famous constitutional text.
Set against the backdrop of 12th and 13th century law, politics, and administration in England and Europe, this book examines the events leading up to the Charter and its drafting process. A new introduction by two prominent scholars provides fresh perspectives on issues raised since the second edition's publication in 1992.
Topics covered include the possible influence of Archbishop Stephen Langton, the role of Roman and Canon Law, and the intellectual setting that shaped the Charter's clauses on justice.
