Sir John Fortescue was undoubtedly the foremost English political theorist of the fifteenth century. This convenient volume brings together for the first time new editions of his two major works-In Praise of the Laws of England and The Governance of England-with references and suggestions for further reading. These works, arguably the earliest in English political thought, form a coherent argument for justice against tyranny and afford unique insights into the law and governance of fifteenth century England. | Sir John Fortescue: On The Laws And Governance Of England, Hardcover | Indigo Chapters
