Reseña del libro "Law Reform in Early Modern England: Crown, Parliament and the Press (en Inglés)"

This book provides an illuminating commentary of law reform in the early modern era (1500-1740) and views the moves to improve law and legal institutions in the context of changing political and governmental environments.Taking a fresh look at law reform over several centuries, it explores the efforts of the king and parliament, and the body of literature supporting law reform that emerged with the growth of print media, to assess the place of the well-known attempts of the revolutionary era in the context of earlier and later movements. Law reform is seen as a long term concern and a longer time frame is essential to understand the 1640-1660 reform measures.The book considers two law reform movements: the moderate movement which had a lengthy history and whose chief supporters were the governmental and parliamentary elites, and which focused on improving existing law and legal institutions, and the radical reform movement, which was concentrated in the revolutionary decades and which sought to overthrow the common law, the legal profession and the existing system of courts. Informed by attention to the institutional difficulties in completing legislation, this highlights the need to examine particular parliaments. Although lawyers have often been seen as the chief obstacles to law reform, this book emphasises their contributions - particularly their role in legislation and in reforming the corpus of legal materials - and highlights the previously ignored reform efforts of Lord Chancellors.
