The Rights and Aspirations of the Magna Carta, Paperback / softback Book

The Rights and Aspirations of the Magna Carta Paperback / softback

Edited by Elizabeth Gibson-Morgan, Alexis Chommeloux

Paperback / softback

Description

This book provides an original and multidisciplinary approach on Magna Carta (1215) as a joint heritage, a source of inspiration both for long established democracies and countries which only recently experienced the Rule of Law.

Far from simply extolling the virtues associated with Magna Carta, it explores the gaps of the Great Charter.

Instead of dealing separately with the historians' and the lawyers' outlooks as two conflicting perspectives, it juxtaposes the views of medievalist and contemporary historians with those of practicing lawyers and law academics, offering readers a thorough yet accessible historic and legal analysis of the charter and its meaning for the citizens of twenty-first century democracies.

At a time of the erosion of civil liberties and fundamental rights, The Rights and Aspirations of the Magna Carta provides a rare insight into the 1215 medieval charter and its legacy.
