The Radical Face of the Ancient Constitution: St Edward's 'Laws' in Early Modern Political Thought Paperback - 2006 - 1st Edition

by Janelle Greenberg


From the publisher

This book deals with critical aspects of English historical, constitutional and political thought from the Middle Ages to the early modern period. In particular, the book is a study of the ways in which history could be deployed for all kinds of political purposes. The entire story of the historical construct of the "radical ancient constitution" is told, focusing on the ways in which rebels turned to important medieval sources including the so-called "Laws" of Edward the Confessor, in an effort to legitimize resistance, deposition and regicide.

First line

When present-day visitors to the Houses of Parliament pass through St. Stephen's Hall, which connects medieval Westminster Hall with the Central Lobby and the House of Commons, they say on its walls a series of large murals centered around the theme "The Building of Britain."
