Description
This work outlines the development of legal theory from pre-Roman times to the 20th century. Aiming to relate the evolution of legal theory to parallel developments in political theory and political history, it offers an account of relevant contemporaneous political, religious and economic events. Each chapter commences with a general historical background for the relevant period and discusses how political events and political and legal theory are both related to one another and occasionally influence one another.
