Law, History, Text: Writing Ironic Legal Histories

By Ian Ward

This book presents a fresh approach to the writing of legal history as an essentially textual enterprise. It argues that to write any history is to tell a story. In doing so, it appreciates the place, not just of context and contingency in the history of law, but also humanity.
