At the end of
this month, Bloomsbury is publishing a book on the idea of Roman law as an
idealized shared heritage in European legal culture.
ABOUT THE BOOK
Roman law is
widely considered to be the foundation of European legal culture and an
inherent source of unity within European law. Roman Law and the Idea of Europe
explores the emergence of this idea of Roman law as an idealized shared
heritage, tracing its origins among exiled German scholars in Britain during
the Nazi regime. The book follows the spread and influence of these ideas in
Europe after the war as part of the larger enthusiasm for European unity. It
argues that the rise of the importance of Roman law was a reaction against the
crisis of jurisprudence in the face of Nazi ideas of racial and
ultranationalistic law, leading to the establishment of the idea of Europe founded
on shared legal principles.
With
contributions from leading academics in the field as well as established
younger scholars, this volume will be of immense interests to anyone studying
intellectual history, legal history, political history and Roman law in the
context of Europe.
