Lectures on the Relation Between Law & Public Opinion : in England During the Nineteenth Century Paperback / softback

Edited by Richard VandeWetering

Paperback / softback

Description

This volume brings together a series of lectures A.

V. Dicey first gave at Harvard Law School on the influence of public opinion in England during the nineteenth century and its impact on legislation.

It is an accessible attempt by an Edwardian liberal to make sense of recent British history.

In our time, it helps define what it means to be an individualist or liberal.

Dicey's lectures were a reflection of the anxieties felt by turn-of-the-century Benthamite Liberals in the face of Socialist and New Liberal challenges.
