Coles An historical essay on the Magna charta of King John at Village Green Shopping Centre in Vernon, BC
*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
Magna Carta is not a myth; it is paperwork with teeth. Freedom began on royal parchment. Richard Thomson brings that parchment world into sharp focus in this historical legal essay, pairing argument with evidence. At its heart is a clear-eyed magna carta analysis that traces how the Great Charter was drafted, transmitted, and invoked, and why its clauses mattered in the evolving language of english constitutional law. Thomson then opens the archive. This volume works as a primary source collection of medieval England documents: the Great Charter in Latin and English, later medieval liberties charters and confirmations granted under Henry III and Edward I, the original Charter of the Forest, and related authentic instruments. Careful explanatory notes set out the practical reach of key privileges, while a descriptive account of surviving originals and editions, in print and manuscript, guides the reader through the text's material history. The result is an absorbing history research sourcebook and a dependable law student reference, illuminating Plantagenet royal charters, common law origins, and the long afterlife of these annotated charter texts in courts, Parliament, and public memory. Readable yet rigorous, it suits the curious browser as well as the specialist, and makes sense of what was promised, what was conceded, and how later generations turned charters into enduring national constitutional touchstones. Republished by Alpha Editions in a careful modern edition, this volume preserves the spirit of the original while making it effortless to enjoy today - a heritage title prepared for readers and collectors alike.
