Images and Cultures of Law in Early Modern England: Justice and Political Power, 1558–1660 (Cambridge Studies in Early Modern British History) - Softcover
Synopsis
Examining aspects of law, history, art, drama and literature, this study represents an original interpretation of a hidden culture: the arcane world of the early modern legal community, and its attempts to restrict governmental power during the period 1558 to 1660. Based at the Inns of Court in London, the legal profession regulated every aspect of its members' lives--dress, consumption, education, worship, entertainment, and even their dwellings--to represent the order of an ideal commonwealth, which it offered as a model for the government of the English State.

Review
"Raffield presents a well-argued case...Deep readings of ritual, an extensive look at contemporary drama, and the clarity of the argument for nonlawyers all enhance the value of this monograph. Recommended." J.T. Rosenthal, SUNY at Stony Brook, CHOICE

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. This book offers an interesting interpretation of the hidden culture of the early modern legal profession and its influence on the development of the English constitution. It locates an alternative site of political sovereignty in the legal communities at the Inns of Court in London, examining the signs of legitimacy by which they sought to validate the claim that common law represented sovereign constitutional authority. The role of symbols in the culture of English law is central to the book's analysis. Within the framework of a cultural history of the legal profession from 1558 to 1660, the book considers the social presence of the law, revealed in its various signs. It analyses how institutional existence at the Inns of Court presented the legal community as an emblematic template for the English nation-state, defending the sovereignty of the Ancient Constitution by reference to the immemorial provenance of common law. Examining aspects of law, history, art, drama and literature, this is an interesting interpretation of a hidden culture: the arcane world of the early modern legal community, its attempts to restrict governmental power during the period 1558 to 1660, and its aim to represent the order of an ideal commonwealth.
