Routledge has published a new book on
comparative law, which includes several contributions with a legal historical
angle.
ABOUT THE BOOK
This book
discusses a number of important themes in comparative law: legal metaphors and
methodology, the movements of legal ideas and institutions and the mixity they
produce, and marriage, an area of law in which culture – or clashes of legal
and public cultures – may be particularly evident. In a mix of methodological
and empirical investigations divided by these themes, the work offers expanded
analyses and a unique cross-section of materials that is on the cutting edge of
comparative law scholarship. It presents an innovative approach to legal pluralism, the study of mixed
jurisdictions, and to language and the law, with the use of metaphors not as
illustration but core element of comparative methodology.
