Book Description
"Tort law, the law of how the costs of accidents and other harms should be allocated, is part of America's larger story of social conflict and progress. The Burdens of All is the first book to fully recount tort law's place in that story. The book describes the law's struggle to move from nineteenth-century individualism, which required accident victims to shift for themselves and protected corporations, to the view that accidents are an inevitable part of modern industrial society and must be paid for by society as a whole. Also, the book paints vivid pictures of the judges and social reformers who have shaped tort law's course; the current struggle between individualism and socialization; and the historical struggle over the proper balance of power between judges and juries in tort cases. Its wealth of information and insights will intrigue law- and social-history devotees alike"--

Book Description
This history of tort law in America looks at how the subject has been conceptualized, pointing out why changes in rules occurred, and who did the changing. White approaches his subject from four perspectives: intellectual history, the sociology of knowledge, the phenomenon of professionalization in the late 19th and 20th centuries in America, and the recurrent concerns of tort law since it became a discrete field.

Book Description
A Revisionist History of Tort Law explodes the myths of modern tort historiography. It challenges both the methodology and the conclusions of Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr., America's first and most influential tort historian. It contends that Holmes' jurisprudence corrupted his view of history, and that his historiography corrupted the outlook of his successors. Yet Revisionist History offers much more than simple deconstruction. It identifies the principles for historical analysis and uses those principles to propose a revolutionary new history of tort law. As a social science, history requires deep, comprehensive and unbiased investigation. Thus, Revisionist History does not trace the development of any specific tort doctrine. Rather, it uncovers the political, philosophical, social, and moral influences which gave the law its life. Moreover, this book does not simply reinterpret the law's primary sources. Instead, it marshals a vast array of secondary authorities which place those sources in context. Finally, Revisionist History does not set its focus on a single, isolated epoch. Rather, it traces the law's entire intellectual history -- from its earliest beginnings to its emergence in the modern era. Enriched by its broadened scope, A Revisionist History of Tort Law provides revelations about the law's past and opens insights into its present and future. It disproves the notion that early tort law was primitive and thoughtless, locating its origins in the intellectual revival of the twelfth century renaissance. It debunks the view that tort law fluctuated with changing notions of public policy, arguing, conversely, that the law's structure and content remained consistently grounded in classical principles of liberalism, naturalism, and rationalism. Finally, it refutes the theory that tort law switched from strict liability to liability based on fault, revealing instead a system remarkably steadfast in its commitment to the timeless dictates of reasonableness. "This book is highly recommended for all tort scholars, legal philosophers, and legal historians." -- Michael Rustad in The Law and Politics Book Review vol. 15, no. 5, May 2005 "...Intriguing, original..." -- Alberta Law Review
