The Constitutional History of England

The lectures offer a comprehensive exploration of the English Constitution, focusing on five pivotal moments in history: 1307, 1509, 1625, 1702, and 1887. Rather than presenting a chronological narrative, they analyze the constitution's functionality during these key periods. Originally delivered in the late 19th century and later edited for publication, these insights serve as an essential introduction to constitutional concepts that Maitland further developed in his collaborative work on English law.
