The age of discovery -- The age of faith -- The age of anxiety -- On looking backward and forward at the same time
Summary
"Following its publication in 1977, Grant Gilmore's compact portrait of the development of American law from the eighteenth century to the mid-twentieth century became a classic. In this new edition, the portrait is brought up to date with a new chapter by Philip Bobbitt that surveys the trajectory of American law since the original publication of Gilmore's masterpiece. Bobbitt also provides a Foreword on Gilmore and the celebrated lectures that inspired The Ages of American Law."--Back cover
