'John Hudson's The Formation of the English Common Law has been the essential and introductory guide to its topic for over twenty years, and has been of real service to students for its breadth of coverage and intelligent commentary. The new and updated edition extends its scope through the integration of research published since the first edition, which will only increase its usefulness to students.' Nicholas Karn, University of Southampton, UK 'Hudson's superb update of his thoughtful and engaging book The Formation of the English Common Law makes it an even more useful teaching text, but also contributes significantly to our understanding of the continuity of English law. Without overgeneralization or simplification, Hudson brings to life the intricate context of various local and royal jurisdictions, shifting the focus of study to include the impact of the law on the lives of individual people.'
