Abstract
"Frederick Pollock and the English Juristic Tradition provides the first detailed historical account of one of England's great jurists. Compared with many of his contemporaries, Pollock has been largely overlooked by modern legal historians." "Drawing upon a vast array of sources, Neil Duxbury offers a detailed picture of this enigmatic figure, examining Pollock's career, jurisprudence, philosophy of the common law, treatise-writing, and editorial initiatives, and shows that Pollock's contribution to the development of English law and juristic inquiry is both complex and crucial."--Jacket.
