Book Description
First published in 1918, Norman Institutions, a group of thematically linked essays on political and legal institutions, contains still-standard analyses of aspects of judicial administration, trial by jury and feudal custom in Norman lands. Haskins [1870-1937], the first important American medievalist, was a remarkably influential scholar. He taught at Harvard for many years, and he dominated the study of his field in the United States. Many of his interpretations, novel in their day, are incorporated into our understanding of the medieval world. Among his best-known books are The Rise of Universities (1923) and The Renaissance of the Twelfth Century (1927).

Book Description
Excerpt from Norman Institutions Tee institutions of the duchy of Normandy occupy a unique place in the history of Europe. They have their local interest, giving character and distinctness to an important region of France; they furnished models of orderly and centralized ad ministration to the French kings after the conquest of the duchy by Philip Augustus; and they exerted an influence of the first importance upon the constitutional and legal development of Eng land and'the countries of English law. Normandy was thus the channel through which the stream of Frankish and feudal custom flowed to England; it was the training ground where the first anglo-norman king gained his experience as a ruler, and the source whence his followers drew their ideas of law and govern ment; and during nearly a century and a half of personal union with England it afforded a constant example of parallel develop ment. In the larger view the effects of Norman institutions upon English lands are the most significant, and these naturally possess the principal interest for English and American students of his tory. The following studies were undertaken in the first instance for the purpose of seeking light on the constitutional develop ment of England, and while they necessarily include many mat ters which bear on this but indirectly, their original purpose has determined their scope and character. They begin with the earli est trustworthy information respecting the government of Nor mandy; they end with the loss of the duchy's originat and independence.

The Debate on the Norman Conquest
Author: Marjorie ChibnallPublisher: Manchester University Press
ISBN: 9780719049132
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 180
Book Description
In the Middle Ages writers were still deeply involved in the legal and linguistic consequences of the Norman victory. Later, the issues became directly relevant to debates about constitutional rights; the theory of a "Norman yoke" provided first a call for revolution and, by the nineteenth century, a romantic vision of a lost Saxon paradise. When history became a subject for academic study, controversies still raged around such subjects as Saxon versus Norman institutions. The debates are still going on. Interest has now moved to such subjects as peoples and races, frontier societies, women's studies and colonialism.

Tribes of Yahweh

ISBN: 0567549577
Category : Religion
Languages : en
Pages : 967
Book Description
A twentieth-anniversary reprint of the landmark book that launched the current explosion of social-scientific studies in the biblical field. It sets forth a cultural-material methodology for reconstructing the origins of ancient Israel and offers the hypothesis that Israel emerged as an indigenous social revolutionary peasant movement. In a new preface, written for this edition, Gottwald takes account of the 'sea change' in biblical studies since 1979 as he reviews the impact of his work on church and academy, assesses its merits and limitations, indicates his present thinking on the subject, and points toward future directions in the social-critical study of ancient Israel and the Hebrew Bible.
