Cambridge University Press Maitland
Book SynopsisF. W. Maitland (18501906) is perhaps the most celebrated English historian since Gibbon. This book is a collection of his later essays about the historical origins of the state, and is designed to bring them to the attention of political theorists and political scientists, as well as historians.Trade Review'… interesting and relevant for political theorists.' Political Studies Review'This delightful collection of essays in the Cambridge Texts in the History of Political Thought series is warmly to be welcomed. The effect is impressive. The book sheds considerable light on Maitland's interest in groups and its significance for political theorists and historians of political thought, in particular. The Cambridge edition is as much a tribute to the editors' erudition as it is to Maitland's. The greatly improved accessibility of all the essays is a boon to those interested in questions of law and the state, liberty and groups, and the adaptation of legal theory to life, in a historical and contemporary context.'

The corporation sole; 2. The Crown as corporation; 3. The unincorporate body; 4. Moral personality and legal personality; 5. Trust and corporation; Index.

Cambridge University Press The Cambridge Companion to Platos Republic Cambridge Companions to Philosophy
Book SynopsisThis Companion provides a comprehensive account of this outstanding work, which remains among the most frequently read works of Greek philosophy, indeed of Classical antiquity in general. The sixteen essays, by authors who represent various academic disciplines, bring a spectrum of interpretive approaches to bear in order to aid the understanding of a wide-ranging audience, from first-time readers of the Republic who require guidance, to more experienced readers who wish to explore contemporary currents in the work's interpretation. The three initial chapters address aspects of the work as a whole. They are followed by essays that match closely the sequence in which topics are presented in the ten books of the Republic. Since the Republic returns frequently to the same topics by different routes, so do the authors of this volume, who provide the readers with divergent yet complementary perspectives by which to appreciate the Republic's principal concerns.Trade Review'Eminently suited to guide students, whether graduates or advanced undergraduates, through this intimidating text while at the same time introducing them to significant contemporary disputes in its interpretation. The Companions chapters … are to be congratulated for resisting the tendency to mystification.'

Cambridge University Press State Formation in Early Modern England c.15501700
Book SynopsisOn the basis of a wide-ranging synthesis of work in diverse fields of English, British and colonial history, this book makes an alternative argument about the modernisation of the seventeenth-century English state. It also focuses on the role of class and gender interests in the state's development.Trade Review'… this is a breakthrough book of fundamental importance. By investing it with a new theoretical rigour, and so integrating its intellectual, cultural, social, economic and political aspects, Braddick has not only moved the analysis of state formation on to a broader canvas, but raised it to a new level.' The English Historical Review'An interesting study with an original approach.' Northern History'By appreciating the complexity of state 'formation' rather than 'making', and by crossing the boundaries separating periods and those dividing different fields of historical analysis, Braddick has provided the best guide we have to the early modern state.' The Historical Journal'Constantly thoughtful, the text will prove indispensable.' Journal of Imperial and Commonwealth HistoryTable of ContentsIntroduction; Part I. State Formation in Early Modern England: Introduction; 1. The embodiment of the state; 2. The uses of political power in early modern England; Conclusion; Part II.
