First Edition
Red Cloth. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. First Edition. This account of the sheriffs of Britain and their changing functions and duties and functions spans a thousand years from Anglo-Saxon times to the present day. It is the fruit of much research, and provides a fascinating social and political history, as well as giving glimpses of everyday life in England and portraits of scores of men, and a handful of women - some worthy, some staggeringly unworthy - who have held the position of sherriff. The office originated with the Anglo-Saxon reeve, whose domain was agricultural administration and local justice. Soon, however, High Reeves were collecting Crown revenues, and by the time of Edward the Confessor the sheriff had acquired wide financial, judicial, policing and military powers based on his status as direct representative of the throne in the shires. The rewards of office could be considerable. For centuries the sheriffs were the executors of the most top-level decisions, popular and unpopular; if war was declared, they had to provide soldiers, food and supplies; and the Exchequer's demands also fell heavily on them (the description of the accounting of a sheriff under Henry II is one of the highlights of the book). In addition they had their own courts and were responsible for the punishment of malefactors. Much of this was at their own expense - unless they could create a salary by extortion. Mrs Gladwin has a wealth of anecdotes, and many names on the fringe of one's memory are brought vividly to life. Gradually the sheriffs lost most of their power, and from Tudor times on many sought to avoid an office which involved such great expense. But the office retained severla important features. The sections of the book covering the last 400 years are a gold-mine of information, drama, customs and brief biographies. No synthesis of this kind exists and the author communicates her own enthusiasm to the reader. The scope of the book is impressive: above all, it is immensely readable; it has all the sparkle and colour of a grand pageant.
