Reviews

'This fine and diverse collection of essays in comparative legal history successfully coheres around a project of illuminating the causes and nature of legal change. It includes essays which investigate different kinds of legal transplants (texts, ideas, people) and their complexities; break down assumptions about uniformity among and sometimes differences between different legal systems; and explore the work of earlier legal comparativists. The variety of comparative methods and range of subject matter (from mid-thirteenth century France to twentieth century Australia) stimulates, provokes and refines our understanding of what it is to study legal history.' Janet McLean, Professor of Law, The University of Auckland, New Zealand
