The Inns of Court under Elizabeth I and the Early Stuarts : 1590-1640 Hardback
by Wilfrid R. (University of Adelaide) Prest
Part of the Cambridge Studies in English Legal History series
Hardback
Description
The Tudor and Stuart inns of court were major centres of learning and literature, as well as professional associations of practising lawyers.
This book sketches the evolution of the inns from their medieval origins and traces the dramatic impact of the societies' rapid expansion through the Elizabethan era and beyond.
Prest's comprehensive study based on original sources surveys the structure and functions of the inns, outlining key aspects, from tensions between junior and senior members to the nature and effectiveness of their educational role.
Its lively prose locates the inns within the cultural, political, religious, and social context of Shakespearean and pre-civil war England.
This corrected and revised second edition of a classic work addresses recent scholarship on the early modern inns of court and includes a new chapter introducing the book to twenty-first-century readers.
